The New Hottness: Marnie Stern
2007 has been slinging us some great records. So far, i think there has been two standouts: Of Montreal‘s Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? and Deerhunter‘s Cryptograms. But last night I stumbled across what is now my favourite album of 2007 so far: Marnie Stern‘s In Advance Of The Broken Arm:
Ok, think Sleater Kinney meets The Mars Volta with a little Sonic Youth. Marnie Stern is a badass chick who can shred like a mofo. Keep in mind when listening to this that every part on this record is recorded by Stern with the exception of drums done by Hella‘s Zach Hill, who also produces this record. Unfortunetly I discovered this album a few days late because she was in Atlanta last weekend. Here’s a few tracks to listen to, but i highly recommend picking up this album because it is incredible from front to back. When she blows up, remember where you heard this first:
Buy In Advance Of The Broken Arm
Seriously, go listen to those tracks!
