Magnetic Skyline is an album by American musicians Kelly Joe Phelps and Corinne West, released in 2010. Most of the songs were released previously on West's solo albums.

Critical reception

Music critic Andrew Mueller wrote in his BBC review of the album "West and Phelps are a natural, effortless pairing... Phelps’ parts lend the songs a depth—in many meanings of the word—somewhat lacking from their original incarnations... If Magnetic Skyline should prove a one-off, it’ll be no less enduringly treasurable. It would be a shame, however, if its creators did not pursue this partnership further."[1]
