Review

A one-of-a-kind collaborative effort, masterminded by producer/songwriter Stephin Merritt, and sung well by various cult stars of the alternative rock scene. The results are unusually successful, if a bit toward the light and precious side, mixing indie attitude with melodicism and production finesse. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

Wasps' Nests is the 1995 debut album by The 6ths. A side-project created by Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields, Merritt wrote and recorded the album, inviting different vocalists to sing lead.

Like the band's name, the album title is a tongue-twister.

"Yet Another Girl" only appears on the vinyl release of the album.
