Ruler - Marnie Stern



I don't know the classics and I'm not fluent in guitar talk, so when people say that Marnie Stern has the "nimbleness of Eddie Van Halen, the complexity of Frank Zappa, and the shredding capability of Slayer's Kerry King*" I have to admit that I have no idea what they're talking about. What I do know, however, is that Marnie Stern's music is refreshing in a strangely familiar way. Maybe it's because her math rock-start-stop playing and high pitched fast words remind me of the song "Beg Waves" by Ponytail or of Deerhoof on fast forward. Whatever it may be, it's catchy and I like it.
