What the label says:

MARNIE IS ONE OF THE RARE ARTISTS WHO WAS SIGNED TO KRS AFTER SENDING IN A DEMO TAPE. HER DEBUT RECORD, IN ADVANCE OF THE BROKEN ARM, IS CULLED FROM SONGS WRITTEN BY HERSELF IN HER BEDROOM OVER A TWO-YEAR PERIOD, WITH PRODUCTION AND DRUM WORK BY HELLA'S ZACH HILL. HER SONGS ARE OF THE EARTH, BIRTHED IN AN ORGANIC PROCESS WHERE THE FINISHED PRODUCT IS MUCH MORE STRIKING THAN THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS: CREATED IN SOLITUDE, THE SONGS CONTAIN A STAGGERING NUMBER OF LAYERS, EACH ONE WINDING ITS WAY AROUND THE OTHERS, THEN COUNTERPOINTED BY MARNIE'S FEMININE, ECHOING, POWERFUL VOCALS. DESPITE THE ARTFUL PRETENSIONS OF SOME OF HER INFLUENCES, MARNIE'S LYRICS ARE HER SECRET WEAPON... EVERY LINE HAS AN UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE FLOATING ABOVE THE MINDNUMBINGLY COMPLEX GUITAR WORK. FOR FANS OF HELLA, HILL/BARR, LIGHTNING BOLT, THIS IS THE SECRET HIT OF 2007!

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
