Stern, Marnie
The Chronicles Of Marnia
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2013 Black Vinyl Original. “Having Established Herself As One Of Indie Rock's Premier Shredders, Marnie Stern Returns With An Emphasis On Songcraft On Her Rhapsodic Fourth Album, The Chronicles Of Marnia. While Stern Still Delights In Plenty Of The Lightning-Fast Guitar Heroics With Which She's Made A Name For Herself, The Album Feels Like A More Open And Exploratory Affair. Part Of This Can Be Attributed To A Change In Personnel, With Hella And Death Grips Drummer Zach Hill Being Replaced By Oneida's Kid Millions, Providing A Looser, More Fluid Contrast To Hill's Technical Wizardry. With This Less Tightly Wound Rhythm Section Behind Her, The Songs Here Seem To Open Up Into Rousing Rock & Roll Mini-Celebrations Rather Than Musical Endurance Tests...The Chronicles Of Marnia Is An Album That Demands Multiple Journeys Through The Wardrobe, Only This Time It's To Fully Take In The Album's Melodic Depths Rather Than To Make Sense Of Its Technical Achievements.” Gregory Heaney, AMG.
