Stephin Meritt (yes, the one from The Magnetic Fields, Gothic Archies, 6ths, etc) sings on this but the music (according to wikipedia) comes from another guy, one Christopher Ewen. Description of same: rainyday fuzzysmooth synthpop, wide-eyed songs of distorted views of what might be.
However, the important thing is that this song is about Houdini (no...really...). I once heard tell how Houdini died, that part of his act was inviting members from the audience to slug him in his stomach, that doing so felt like punching a brick wall, but that one day a college kid didn't give him the chance to set his abs and ruptured his appendix.
And so it goes.
I find this song works best if you keep that story in mind.
