    The Chronicles of Marnia is an album that demands multiple journeys through the wardrobe, only this time it's to fully take in the album's melodic depths rather than to make sense of its technical achievements.

    On Marnie Stern’s fourth album, her guitar playing is as grand as her self-doubt, yet The Chronicles of Marnia is Stern’s most buoyant work.

    She sounds like she’s rediscovering the thrill of making music, and a nervy triumph pervades.

    On her fourth album, inventive and demented singer/songwriter/guitar hero Marnie Stern whips up a potent batch of quirky, invigorating and, at times, beautiful new material.
