It is not every day that we receive new music from the inimitable Marnie Stern. The math-rock guitar virtuoso and singer-songwriter has officially returned with a brand new song, “Trix Are For Kids,” marking her first release since her 2023 album The Comeback Kid.
For the time being, the track is being handled as a direct-to-fan release. Stern has made the song available exclusively via her Bandcamp page, and it is currently not available on major streaming platforms. This approach aligns with the artist’s recent focus on sharing unreleased material and “loosies” directly with her dedicated listener base.
“Thought I’d put up some unreleased tracks,” Stern noted in the song’s description, hinting that this might be the beginning of a larger rollout of archival or previously unheard material. For fans eager to hear the latest shredding from the guitar icon, heading over to Stern’s Bandcamp page is the only way to access the music.
Stern’s return follows the critical acclaim of The Comeback Kid, which served as her first full-length project in a decade. Her ability to blend complex, angular guitar work with infectious pop sensibilities remains as sharp as ever, and “Trix Are For Kids” serves as a welcome reminder of why she remains a singular force in the indie-rock landscape.
