Marnie Stern - Self-Titled (2010)

Hi, my name is Jana. Peter invited me. I'm not way eloquent, but I get music. You can find me on tumblr, last.fm, and twitter if you want (I love the net.) Glad to be your 'token girl'.

For my first post, I am treating you with Marnie Stern's self-titled, just released this last week. It's exploding my brain. Stern, known for her supaa technical guitar shredding, gets vulnerable. It's a genre all its own too-- experimental, math rock, girl garage, noisy dance pop music. Also, her drummer Zach Hill tears it up. Recommended tracks are the opener For Ash, apparently about the death of an ex (shit gets heavy), and my personal favorite Transparency is the New Mystery.
