STACY CLARK SET TO RELEASE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED
‘APPLES AND ORANGES’ NOV. 20, 2007
The
Follow-up to “Unusual” Features 11 Tracks Written by Stacy Clark
and
Produced by Loren Israel and Ian Kirkpatrick
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. – NOV. 12, 2007 – Time has
brought an evolution of great things, which have changed the way we look at
life. Coffee and Starbucks. Computers and the Internet. TV and TiVo. Now, that
list includes music and Stacy Clark.
Building from 2005’s critically acclaimed, 4-song
EP “Unusual,” Clark has turned out a new album that aptly blends all
that’s good about emo with her trademark, folk vibe. Layered with a unique
electronic sound and backed by her powerful, melodic vocals, “Apples and
Oranges,” produced by Loren Israel and Ian Kirkpatrick, is Clark’s long
awaited full length.
Clark joins the music industry’s growing trend of
artists independently releasing albums. “Apples and Oranges” was recorded
and produced without major label backing. The CD will be available through
Clark’s Web site, www.StacyClark.net, and digitally through major download
companies. Talks of a major tour are circling for early 2008.
With the success of “Unusual,” also produced by
Israel (Rock Kills Kid, Run Doris Run) and Kirkpatrick (Zen Seven Studios), the
wave of expectation was set in motion. As each of the EP’s tracks began to
register spins on both coasts, professional artists became intrigued by
Clark’s new and refreshing sound. Subsequently, 3 of the 11 songs on “Apples
and Oranges” feature guest vocalists. Plain White T’s singer Tom Higgenson
joins Clark on “Recluse,” while
Tim Pagnotta of Sugarcult lends his
voice to “Closer” and Aaron Marsh
of Copeland contributes the bridge to “Empty Bottles.”
In 2007, Clark’s songs
"You Make It Worse" and "Unusual" were featured on MTV's hit
show “Engaged and Underage” and the CW series “Girlfriends.” During the
summer, she served as a co-host on “The Big Ten,” a popular MTV video progam.
A "Featured Artist"
on “MTV Hits,” Clark’s songs have been included on the Music Saves Lives 2006-07
Vans Warped Tour CD and on Jack’s Mannequin frontman Andrew McMahon’s
Airport Records compilation.
Clark,
originally from Grand Island, N.Y., moved to Orange County, Calif., in 2004. After fighting a
blood disorder in her teens, she has become the official spokesperson of the
Music Saves Lives program. Clark speaks to students about the importance of
donating blood. Moreover, her advertising firm, Chelstay, which she operates
with Chelsea Davis, provides all of the life-saving program’s designs and
marketing initiatives at no cost.
