Marnie Stern shares the propulsive “Til It’s Over” which is about “Trying to move forward after feeling betrayed and keeping your eye on the prize and not wallowing in self-pity.” “Til It’s Over” appears on The Comeback Kid (Joyful Noise Recordings), the long-awaited new album out this Friday, November 3rd, 2023.
“Til It’s Over” comes with a video directed by Ryan Hover and Allison Durst who share the following: “We wanted to continue the Marnie tradition of whimsical hand-drawn artwork by Bella Foster, but with an added drive synced to the song’s unrelenting 8th notes and punctuated by those prolonged blasts of intense snare rolls. Ryan has been experimenting with an animation style where shapes emerge from an ebb and flow between the negative and positive space, and this seemed to work great for the letters and words of the lyrics. Allison provided illustrations for the storm imagery – clouds, rain, lightning – and her hand-drawn frames evoke the song’s theme of looking back into memory and forward into the future as if trying to catch a permanent glimpse of an elusive, shape-shifting specter.”
Marnie Stern also teamed up with Fred Armisen for a cover of Blue Öyster Cult’s “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” for the Joyful Noise Halloween Party, Vol 1 benefit compilation, which is now available here.
