About

New Magnetic Wonder is the sixth studio album from The Apples in Stereo. The album was produced by Robert Schneider with additional production and mixing by Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Evan Dando, Sean Lennon) and was recorded in three separate states (New York, Colorado and Kentucky). The album was released on February 6, 2007 via a co-venture between the actor Elijah Wood's Simian Records, Yep Roc Records and Elephant 6. In an interview, Robert Schneider has described New Magnetic Wonder as an album with sensibilities between the Apples in Stereo albums Fun Trick Noisemaker and The Discovery of a World Inside the Moone, as well as a heavy influence from 1970s bands such as Electric Light Orchestra. Schneider has also admitted Smile by Brian Wilson as an early influence on the album.

Dear Listener,
The enhanced portion of this CD contains the lyrics and liner notes in text format, in case your CD has become estranged from its packaging, plus the original unabridged album art by Andrew McLaughlin.
There is other fun stuff too: a couple of short films, a bonus MP3, and an explanation of a "Non-Pythagorean" musical scale Robert invented, which he used to compose the introductory tones of New Magnetic Wonder and two of the link tracks.
Plus there are SoundFont (.sf2) and WAV files of sine waves tuned to the
Non-Pythagorean scale, and instructions for you to compose with it on your sampling keyboard or computer.
Music theory of this new scale is an open question, so we look forward to hearing the result of your experiments.
We hope you enjoy our New Magnetic Wonder,
THE APPLES IN STEREO
Issued in a Digipak with clear tray and 16 panel fold-out poster/lyric insert.
Durations do not appear on release.
