Marnie Stern

New York's guitarist Marnie Stern debuted with In Advance Of The Broken Arm (Kill Rock Stars, 2007), featuring Hella's Zach Hill on drums. The skiva is a juvenile romp through heavy-metal, punk-rock, garage-rock and noise-rock filtered through the sensibility of the new wave of the 1970s. Not quite an intellectual singer-songwriter a` la Patti Smith, and equipped with a much more feminine röst, Stern had to rely on an intricate abrasive guitar attack, frantic rhythms and demented repetition to bestow meaning on her songs. Stern transfers the exuberance of her age into extremely unstable formats: Her method of childish repetition and amateurish drumming works best in the frenzied hoe-down of Vibrational Match, in the anthemic nursery-school singalong Put All Your Eggs In One Basket, in the chaotic Absorb Those Numbers, in the supersonic Healer, and in the hyper-ebullient The Weight Of A Rock, that evokes a dissonant remix of Rip Rig & Panic's stomp
