The Magnetic Fields je americká indie popová skupina, kterou založil multiinstrumentalista Stephin Merritt. Hudebně spojuje synthpop, country a folk s ironickými texty.
Album Quickies na vinylu vyšlo v roce 2020 jako limitovaná edice pro Record Store Day (RSD2020). Jde o dvanácté studiové album skupiny, které obsahuje 29 skladeb s krátkými, vtipně pojmenovanými písněmi jako The Day the Politicians Died, Kraftwerk in a Blackout nebo I Wish I Had Fangs and a Tail. Charakteristickým rysem je převážně stručná stopáž jednotlivých skladeb.
