This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is...
“The laborious title to Marnie Stern's new album weirdly suits her-- like her and her music, it's obsessive, playful, and choppy, and it captures the single-mindedness of this self-taught guitar virtuoso.”
The Comeback Kid
“Stern's latest offering is as urgent and electrifying as anything she’s managed in the 16 years since her disarming debut.”
The Comeback Kid
“On her first album in a decade, the New York guitarist returns to her pyrotechnic displays of virtuosity. The pace is fast, the tone raw, the mood appropriately triumphant.”
The Chronicles of Marnia
“On Marnie Stern’s fourth album, her guitar playing is as grand as her self-doubt. Yet The Chronicles of Marnia is Stern’s most buoyant work, complete with a mission statement that bucks her precious trend: “Immortals don’t die.” At 37, the Upper East Side guitar virtuoso is in her ‘not a girl, not yet a veteran of the alt-rock sphere’ stage. Flanked by a new producer with a flair for minimalism, ”
The Chronicles of Marnia
“Marnie Stern's fourth album is an extension of the transition that began on her 2010 self-titled record toward a more controlled, subdued sound. Marnia is still aggressive, busy, and bright, but new drummer Kid Millions gives it a welcome sway, and the relative calm lets Stern's vulnerability shine through.”
Marnie Stern
“Still balancing earnestness and technique, Marnie Stern's songs here are darker, the lyrics lingering on loss, regret, doubt, and failed love.”
