It's the cheapest thing in the world to focus on the fact that Marissa Paternoster is a small human being with an enormous voice, even though that fact still spins my head a little bit. Paternoster has been making music with her band Screaming Females for over a decade, and we should all be good and used to it by now. And it's not giving her enough credit, either. Because it's not just that Paternoster's voice is big. It's the way she projects a towering strength. Paternoster sounds vast, colossal, eternal. She sounds like wrought iron and California redwoods. She sounds like Easter Island sculptures. She sounds like Braun Strowman. She sounds like an eternal, elemental force. And one of the great thrills in every new Screaming Females record is in hearing how she captures and harnesses that strength, in seeing where she channels it.
