STERN
HYPESHEET
press update: Jan 31, 2011
“Blistering
stuff.” NME
“New York guitar hero Stern is a great one-off in latter day rock.” Guard ian Film & Music
“…All the songs here are absolutely killer…” 8/10 The 405
“Stern’s complex, rhythmically-challenging third album is awash with her trademark finger-
tapping guitar style, driven along by some wonderfully propulsive drumming and continually
inventive song structure.” AU Mag
“Her third album doesn’t slack on fretboard virtuosity, layering her insane licks with
punked out banshee vocals and hard-hit staccato beats.” TimeOut
“New Yorker Marnie Stern is a glorious one off… there’s no
end of forward-thinking fun here.” ***** 5 star review
Guardian
“An exciting, mindblowing listen, this third album… is something worth falling head over heels for.”
8/10 Loud & Quiet
“Marnie Stern is a shining light.” ***** 5 star review,
Artrocker
“…fits joyful sun-coming-up vocal refrains between
fantastical guitar widdle and nutty drum fills …permit us
to bug out to the controlled chaos.” NME
“’For Ash’ and ‘Transparency Is The New Mystery’ evoke the image of the greatest stadium gig
ever…both offer irreducibly simple, and heart-bursting sentiments.” 8 / 10 Drowned In Sound
“It all adds up to Stern's most fully realised, most rounded album yet, and a huge step in her evolution as an artist… this
album will likely garner her a large amount of new fans, and is certainly already confirmed as one of the best albums of the
year.” **** ½ (4 and a half star) revi ew, Music OMH
“Awesome, axeshredding, finger tapping guitar workouts fresh from NY.” T3
