Miriam Clancy MAGNETIC

"an exceptional album"
Graham Reid, Elsewhere

"..this album just literally stopped me in my tracks... she's fantastic... she's got a beautiful voice... she writes well crafted songs... she has a very poetic sense to her lyrics and she is a talent to watch... magnetic, it's one of my favourite local artists of the year..."
★★★★/★ [4.5 star review, Breakfast] Francesca Rudkin, TVNZ

"passes second album test with flying colours ...sophisticated and assured songs and sonics ... haunting ...powerful multi-layered arrangements ...irresistible singles 'You Ain't The Worst Mistake I've Made' and 'Join The Chorus' ...leaving no doubts that she is currently one of this country's hottest songwriters."
★★★★ [4 star review] George Kay, Real Groove Magazine

"You won't find many albums made in this country with the production values of Miriam Clancy's Magnetic and inventive as some of our more lo-fi artists can be it's a rare pleasure to immerse oneself in the rich sonics and stylish arrangements of this record and yet ultimately it's Clancy's songs and voice that carry it, that makes this much more than just a classy production, but one of the handful of essential local albums of the year"
[The Sampler] Nick Bollinger, Radio NZ National

"A VOICE TO MOVE MOUNTAINS ...one of NZ musics' best kept secrets.
Magnetic veers from its gripping opener The Best (which has echoes of Bush and Sinead O'Connor) to the bouncy Motown-flavoured mega-production of Join the Chorus to the Radiohead/Pink Floyd atmospheres of the title track"
★★★★ [4 star review + timeout cover story] Russell Baillie, The NZ Herald

"IRRESTISTABLE FORCE You can’t help but be pulled towards Miriam Clancy’s Magnetic. …sexy & volatile... timeless pop tunes... head-turning... these moments remind me of the great records Dusty Springfield and Sandy Shaw made in the 60s... Clancy has aimed high and carried it off, giving these big songs the treatment they deserve"
Nick Bollinger, The Listener

"...Clancy still writes a crisp melody and hook (You Ain't The Worst Mistake I've Made) and there's a track here entitled Join the Chorus (which you do, despite its slightly psychedelic feel)...
But from the moody opener The Best which increasingly soars over rapid percussion and throbbing bass, through Southern Cross with its melodic hints at Lennon's War is Over in the chorus, the low mood of Only Lonely One ("a sentimental fool when it comes to you") and the stately title track to the closing ballad My Heart is a Traitor ("beating for you") this is an exceptional album..."
Graham Reid, elsewhere.co.nz.

“Poised To Take Off.” [NZ Live with Jim Mora, Radio NZ] "For the last two years Miriam Clancy has commuted between Great Barrier Island and the U.S. writing songs and working on her second album 'Magnetic'."
