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 (2008) & Marnie Stern (2010)
A short list of things I like about Marnie Stern:
1. The fascinating, intricate, and frequently glorious guitar/percussion/sung-shouted textures of her songs.
2. Especially the guitars!
3. And the climaxes, which often, once they hit, either return and return or just keep on going on and on from first appearance.
4. Song titles like "Roads? Where We're Going We Don't Need Roads" and (appositely) "Female Guitar Players Are The New Black" and fragments of lyrics flying past in similar veins.
5. The way that it really doesn't sound much like anything else you've ever heard, in a good way.
I like This Is It... more than the self-titled, but both are ace.
