   關於 MIRIAM CLANCY
Miriam Clancy's new album MAGNETIC is now available in NZ stores and online. It reached 4 on the NZ itunes charts in it's first week & is attracting attention with rave reviews in NZ's leading tv, radio & print press...

"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'."

May 2009
Hey, nice to meet you - have just added this new bio written by flash people who seem to think I have been abducted by aliens which is kind of cool for my dad who sees aliens everywhere but nobody will listen to him, although already I have been asked about the probing by a radio man live to air which is also great coz I haven't quite had enough embarrassment to date, but all in all, its good and online too at Mushroom Publishing NZ/Australia's website having just signed with them (which is ace) thanks Mushroom...
*Imminent winter solo tour ahead, more dates are being added everyday and I am verrrrrry excited at the thought of touring my beautiful country even in arctic conditions. More info on that there blog above this here bio/alien newsflash.
While you wait to see me at any given small NZ town or await my new record - check out my supercool video made by wunderkind Tim van Dammen and his talented crew. As you will see I am flying in the air with my magic skills kind of like Greatest American Hero but betterer and spookier.
xx Miriam

BIO
Miriam Clancy has been abducted by aliens.
They've used her in experiments, probing her with a curious selection of moody instruments and mixing her with the blood of some of the great singer/songwriters of our time. Lucky for us mere mortals, they've teleported her back to earth implanted with an endless wealth of new experiences and even deeper, more heartfelt stories to share.

But extraterrestrials and talent spotters alike have had their eye on Miriam long before the release of 'Magnetic', even before her debut, 'Lucky One'. Way before.

Miriam's real story is a bit more down to earth than encounters with our celestial counterparts. Through a stormy upbringing, music seems to have handed Miriam a purpose, an escape and a will to hunt for beauty in life. That, and a love for minor chords.

From scratchy beginnings belting out covers in small New Zealand towns - through to the point where she was the natural choice to play support for the likes of Ron Sexsmith and Wilco, Miriam has always frequented a spot, somewhere between melancholy and rebellion. A secret musical stopover where she still hangs to this day.

During this timeline, she somehow managed to teach herself to play the guitar, study music and cram big songs song ideas into small tour vans. Her experience now far outweighing her teenage years. Even on a slight detour over to Kuala Lumpur, as you do, Miriam gained even more depth to her soul and a higher profile by belting out ballads in a club.

She returned to Auckland and soon enough was bashing out new songs on a beaten up guitar, from which eventually, a debut album ‘Lucky One’ was forged. This time in her life had Miriam touring herself silly and embarking on more of those international detours.

After a debut to die for, Miriam now looks ready to dazzle the rest of the known universe with a constellation of truly magnetic new songs that can't help but stick to even the most repellent heart. Yes, Miriam's got some stories to tell.

Along for the ride into the stratosphere, 'Magnetic' has drawn together the stellar talents of members of Supergroove, SJD, Opensouls, Trinity Roots and more. All gravitating around one of the best songwriters this planet has seen in light years. Miriam Clancy will have you tangled in mystery, and at the same time, draw you in with lyrics you'll think were written just for you. But whomever she is singing about on one of the 13 songs on 'Magnetic', should find it possible to feel even luckier than on Lucky One.

If there's any one thing wrong with 'Magnetic', it's the possibility that it may render Miriam an Accolade-aholic. And if there's any one thing 'Magnetic' lacks, it's a genre. That's because even after just one listen, any member of the human race will agree that Miriam Clancy may have just invented a new one.

Miriam’s sophomore album, ‘Magnetic’ is due for release in September 2009
