Artist Biography

The 6ths is a musical project created by indie pop musician Stephin Merritt, best known as the frontman of The Magnetic Fields. Formed in the mid-1990s, The 6ths is unique in its collaborative nature, with Merritt writing and producing the music while enlisting different guest vocalists for each song. This approach has led to a diverse and eclectic sound, with contributions from artists such as Sarah Cracknell, Marc Almond, and Gary Numan. The project's debut album, "Wasps' Nests," was released in 1995 to critical acclaim, showcasing Merritt's signature witty and introspective songwriting paired with the distinct voices of the guest singers. Subsequent albums like "Hyacinths and Thistles" and "Hynoptic Sounds for the Jilted Generation" further solidified The 6ths' reputation for crafting sophisticated pop music with a twist. Despite not achieving the same level of commercial success as The Magnetic Fields, The 6ths have garnered a dedicated following among indie music enthusiasts for their inventive and collaborative approach to songwriting.
