Even more impressive if you notice that it was made almost all by one person.

In general the Magnetic Fields are great because they’re one of the few bands I can sing along with in my own octave and not sound terrible. Their song You Must Be Out Of Your Mind is also great for that, and I love the line “You can’t just go round sayin’ stuff because it’s pretty / And I no longer drink enough to think you’re witty”.
