Marissa Paternoster has a voice that commands attention. Whether she’s warning about the horrors of social media on the howling “Glass House” or tossing off not-so-thinly-veiled threats on the peppy “I’ll Make You Sorry,” the Screaming Females singer and guitarist continues to find new ways to upend expectations. Tweaking the sludge-y punk of their beginnings and the shredding garage rock of their most recent records, All at Once find the New Jersey trio zeroing in on a tighter, more adroit songwriting approach. Songs like “Soft Domination,” “Birds in Space,” and “Fantasy Lens” bob and weave where an earlier iteration of Screaming Females might have dropped the hammer. Paternoster’s restraint turns out to be just as compelling as her moments of excess.
