Marnie Stern to drop 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 on Kill Rock Stars October 7

ANTICIPATED MARNIE STERN ALBUM COMING THIS FALL

Marnie Stern to drop 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 on Kill Rock Stars October 7

Since shocking critics the world over with her barnstorming debut set In Advance of the Broken Arm last year, expectations have been riding high for Marnie Stern’s follow up, and This Is It… delivers on the promise. Seeking the next step of her musical evolution, Stern approaches her unique guitar playing as a part of a cohesive whole rather than the expressions of virtuosity that earmarked her prior work. The results eschew her former conceptual leanings to create a deeply personal set of songs that are anthemic and uplifting; a pop record for an alternate dimension.

What the critics said of the last outing:

“Don’t imagine that this album is some sort of endurance test: it’s too joyful and too pretty to be considered difficult.” – THE NEW YORK TIMES

“Stern has it– a charisma and technique that already distinguishes her as pure Technicolor in a glutted, black-and-white scene.” – PITCHFORK MEDIA
