MARNIE STERN - The Comeback Kid LP swamp Topped off by Harris’ gruffly

Topped off by Harris’ gruffly melodic vocals and incisive lyrics

They were quite the thing in the '90s battling with the likes of Pavement for the kings of off-kilter rock mantle

Finland’s Krypts return to unfurl an aeonic slab of death metal upon the ears

MARNIE STERN - The Comeback Kid LP swamp Topped off by Harris’ grufflyMarnie Stern took ten years between this one and her last one, yes she spent the intervening time being The Queen Of Late Nite, by which I mean she was lead guitarist in Seth Meyers's band but this record basically picks up right where she left off. Which is great! Her kind of absolutely wacky guitar noise pop is exactly what we need right now. And this album really does feel like a reemergence, like a crocus pushing up through the February snow.
