Marnie Stern — The Comeback Kid (Joyful Noise)

A decade ago, when we last had a Marnie Stern album to consider, she was a beacon of instrumental prowess in a world of “Women who rock” features that largely confined themselves to singers. She was a shredder then and a shredder now, and dare we hope, the world has shifted so that this is no longer so remarkable? In any case, her latest album, The Comeback Kid, is full of shimmering, ultra fanciful castles of guitar-based sound, but it’s also kind of an experimental pop gem, like Deerhoof after a month of Guitar Hero or like OOIOO any time, really.

Stern has spent the last 10 years in ways both unsurprising (she had two kids now) and mildly unusual (she plays guitar on in Late Night’s 8G band). As a result, she sounds both refreshed from the hiatus and in sharp form from the practice. This is, of course, a contradiction, but makes sense when you think about it. Playing other people’s music five nights a week is very different from making your own songs and touring them.

In any case, she is audibly raring to go, in “Believing is Seeing.” She builds a song right in front of us, asking “What if I add this? And then?” and then adding it, big crashing power chords, antic dances of off kilter picking, handclaps, sugar-rush, girl-group shouts and refrains. “Don’t bow down,” she confides before launching the wholly, gloriously excessive “Working Memory” and then DOESN’T BOW DOWN. Instead she launches a Cecil B. DeMille production of an art punk song, with trebly choirs and neck warping firestorms of electric guitar wizardry. It’s the grand finale of all grand finales, but hold on, the album’s not even half over yet.

You’ve still got the stop-start giddy assault of “Earth Eater,” for instance, showcasing rapid-fire bursts of percussion and, again, guitar, as well as fizzy, popping, girl sung choruses that have something very Japanese about them. It’s here that I’m going to pull the Wendy Eisenberg card just because I can think of no other female artist with comparable chops and experimental pop tendencies, but Stern is pure pleasure where Eisenberg can sometimes seem a puzzle maker. You can turn it all off and enjoy The Comeback Kid—or listen in and enjoy the details. (Like that Van Halen solo right at the end of “Earth Eater.”)

Celebrate the comeback, sure, but it sounds like a big bang beginning.

Sonic Youth - Drum Logos, Fukuoka, Japan, February 24, 2001

The endless #SonicSummer rolls on! This week we're back in Japan, as Sonic Youth was bringing the NYC Ghosts & Flowers era to a close. Once again, I'm struck by how absolutely sweet that LP's songs sound in a live setting — they really feel like living, breathing organisms, surging, swelling, transforming, transcending. The jammy sections of "Free City Rhymes" flow beautifully; the one-two punch of "Nevermind" and "Side2Side" is a kaleidoscopic trip; and the title track (here dedicated to the just-departed John Fahey) blossoms into a massive wall of scary/sublime noise, spirits rejoicing in sound.

The audience seems a little subdued — but maybe this is just a polite Japanese crowd. Thurston does lead them all into a rowdy chant for opening act OOIOO, however. Whatever, they're treated to a great show; the older selections are very nice indeed — check out the slide guitar that Jim O'Rourke adds to "Teenage Riot" or Lee's raging vocal on "Mote," a tune that is always welcome in setlists.

The encore features a rad exploration of "Lightnin'" ... who is that on the gloriously dubbed-out/delay-laden trumpet? Yoshimi?!! Maybe, I think she played trumpet on some old Boredoms records. If you were there let me know!

Ryuichi Sakamoto (January 17, 1952 - March 28, 2023)

Professor Sakamoto was one of Japan’s most successful musicians, acclaimed for work in Yellow Magic Orchestra as well as solo albums and film scores.

As a member of Yellow Magic Orchestra alongside Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi, Sakamoto created joyous and progressive electronic pop in the late 1970s and early 1980s, alongside solo releases. He acted alongside David Bowie in the 1983 film Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence and composed its Celebrated theme, the first in a series of film scores including Oscar-winning work in 1987 with David Byrne and Cong Su for Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor.

Alongside YMO, Sakamoto continued releasing solo albums including 1980’s B-2 Unit, another influence on the robotically funky sound of electro that also foreshadowed other dance music styles. After focusing purely on solo work, he forged further connections in the west, collaborating with musicians including Iggy Pop, Robert Wyatt, Laurie Anderson, David Sylvian and more. Sylvian contributed Forbidden Colours, a vocal version of one of Sakamoto’s most famous works, the theme to second world war drama Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence. Sakamoto also starred in the film as a prisoner of war camp commander.

Following The last Emperor (in which he also had an acting role), he collaborated with Bernardo Bertolucci again for The Last Buddha, and with Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence director Nagisa Oshima for Gohatto. He also scored two films by Brian De Palma (Snake Eyes and Femme Fatale), plus Wild Palms for Oliver Stone, High Heels for Pedro Almodóvar, the 1990 film adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale, and more. His 2015 score for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s film The Revenant was nominated for Golden Globe, Bafta and Grammy awards. In 2019, he composed the music for an episode of dystopian TV drama series Black Mirror. He took no further acting roles, aside from appearing as a film director in Rain, a music video for Madonna.

Mr Sakamoto released a steady schedule of solo releases throughout the 1990s and onwards, and wrote a piece for the opening ceremony of the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. In 1999 he debuted the multimedia opera project Life, in collaboration with artist Shiro Takatani with contributions from Bertolucci, Pina Bausch and more. He and Takatani extended the concept into installation work from 2007 onwards.

Also in 2007, he began the ambitious Schola project, curating 17 compilations of global music ranging from composers such as Ravel and Beethoven to Japanese pop. It was released via his record label Commons, set up in 2006, which has also released work by artists including Boredoms and OOIOO.

In 2002, he began a fruitful partnership with German musician Carsten Nicolai, who used his Alva Noto alias for four collaborative albums of minimalist electronica.

Mr Sakamoto was also an environmental campaigner, opposing the use of nuclear power, and creating the forestry project More Trees to enable carbon offsetting.

One of the consequences of women being gatekept from the arts is that there are so many time periods with amazing art movements, and no women in them. If I want to listen to a woman composer from the 18th century, it's slim pickings. There are many female living composers today (though not as many as there ought to be due to sexism), but they compose in today's styles.

Similarly, I love 70s prog rock! There is, as far as I can tell, exactly one all-female 70s prog rock band (Mother Superior) and they released one album and the group then disbanded! There's Curved Air, which was all male but had a female lead singer and occasional songwriter and they also disbanded. There are some more modern female prog rock bands (OOIOO, Ars Nova), but if I want to listen to 70s stuff, I'm out of luck. Women musicians missed out on one of the most fruitful eras of pop music experimentation, collaboration, creativity, and recording expertise, because of sexist managers and sexist audiences (the managers of Mother Superior had no idea how to brand them because they might be too 'sexually threatening' to male fans' girlfriends...).

We can rediscover female artists and creators from the past, but it is not enough, it will never be enough. It is a loss that women experienced that we were massively underrepresented in so many artistic and intellectual movements. We can't go back in time and recreate them, the time is over, it's done. We can only fight to get more women in today's movements and tomorrow's. But I had to grieve about it, because it is a loss. It is something the men of that time took away from those women, and we today are all the poorer for it.
