Product Description

CD Description
Marnie is one of the rare artists who was signed to her label after sending in a demo tape. Her debut record, 'In advance of the broken arm', is culled from songs written by herself in her bedroom over a two-year period, with production and drum work by Hella's Zach Hill. Her songs are of the earth, birthed in an organic process where the finished product is much more striking than the individual parts: created in solitude, the songs contain a staggering number of layers, each one winding its way around the others, then counterpointed by Marnie's feminine, echoing, powerful vocals. Despite the artful pretensions of some of her influences, Marnie's lyrics are her secret weapon. Every line has an understated elegance floating above the mind-numbingly complex guitar work. For fans of Hella, Hill/Barr, Lightning Bolt, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums of 2007., 4 Jan 2008
By A. Craig "musician and coward" (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Marnie Stern walks many a fine line. The music features multiple layers of "fiddly" guitars and often atonal vocals, but throws in enough melody and hooks to make it wholly memorable and not at all difficult to listen to. Marnie wears her influences on her sleeve, admitting that her guitar tapping technique is largely inspired by Don Caballero's Ian Williams, and goes as far as getting Hella's Zach Hill to drum on the album and help produce it, but the album sounds more like her own personal vision than anything else. And her personal vision is one of fascinating music, complicated enough to reward repeated listens but not so dense as to make a bad first impression. It's one of the few albums of 2007 I feel I will still be listening to in years to come.
