While Stephin Merritt usually sings all lead vocals on Magnetic Fields albums, he needed to provide a richer variety of approaches across the nearly three-hour length of the album. Thus Merritt shares lead vocals with fellow band member (and manager) Claudia Gonson, as well as three guest vocalists: LD Beghtol, Dudley Klute and Shirley Simms. The basic quartet of musicians in The Magnetic Fields is also supplemented on a few songs with accordion and keyboard by novelist Daniel Handler (who interviews Merritt for the booklet that accompanies the US box set version of the album), and with electronic backing tracks by Chris Ewen.
