13 MAY 2009 - 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. When I Do is the first single from Miriam's forthcoming album and features Aaron Tokona (Weta) on electric guitar, Chip Matthews (Open Souls) on bass, Chris O'Connor (Don McGlashan, S.J.D.) on drums and Miriam playing a 150 year old Spinete, a toy synth she found in an opshop and pretty much everything else. The gravity defying video was directed by the very talented Tim Van Dammen (Smashproof, Motocade, Sola Rosa and The Checks) who has managed to ingest a haunting and ethereal twist to this fabulous new single from one of NZ's most talented song writers. Twilight anyone? The song is going out to radio this month on the Kiwi Hit Disc and the video is playing on TV screens near you including Juice TV and C4 or of course online... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr5vD3qpxu4 Her debut album - Lucky One was supported with lengthy tours following the release. Miriam played a mass of shows - supporting Ron Sexsmith and Wilco amongst them, went back to the US for a while, and carried on writing. At a piano was where she found herself and a good deal of new songs and now they are on an album beautifully recorded by Andre Upston (Bic Runga). She's received blinding praise for that stunning debut and now Miriam Clancy looks ready to impress 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. Miriam's new album 'Magnetic' is due out later this year.
