Next album ="The Man Who Ate the Man" is an album by the electronic / art rock band
Magnetophone . It was released in 2005 on4AD Records . Equally inspired by pop, electronic pioneers likeMorton Subotnick , contemporary electronic artists likeAutechre , andKrautrock , Magnetophone have continued to evolve from their debut "I Guess Sometimes I Need to Be Reminded of How Much You Love Me" (2000).The lyrics of "The Man Who Ate The Man" are more poetic than rock'n'roll inspired, and concern city relationships ("Benny's Insobriety" and "Without Word") or similar, but set against a rural backdrop ("A Sad Ha Ha (Circled My Demise)" and "The Only Witching You'll be Doing"). The themes explore control, loss, reverence, worth, relationship-pacts.
