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.
