CMU Approved

Approved: Marnie Stern – For Ash

By | Published on Wednesday 4 August 2010

I’ve long been a fan of Marnie Stern, ever since I stumbled across (and became completely obsessed with) her debut album, ‘In Advance Of The Broken Arm’, in early 2007. There just isn’t anyone like her, despite the fact that her sound is heavily influenced by the highly technical chaos of Hella, whose drummer Zach Hill has produced and played on all three of her albums.

Hill really is the only person suitable to sit behind Stern as she runs her fingers up and down the fretboard of her guitar at mind-bending speeds and sings in that otherworldly voice of hers. Two years after her last album, ‘This Is It And I Am It And You Are It And So Is That And He Is It And She Is It And It Is It And That Is That’, she has announced that she will release her eponymous third album on 18 Oct via Souterrain Transmissions. The opening track from the album, ‘For Ash’, is available to stream and download on the label’s website now.
