Singer-songwriter IMOGEN CLARK releases her forth single “Paper Boat” forthcoming EP, due for release on August 21 (Potts Entertainment/MGM). The Making Of Me EP is available to pre-order NOW.
The beautifully animated video for “Paper Boat” was produced and directed by Anita Lester. It brings to life the isolation of a relationship that has turned toxic. Glide Magazine in its premiere describes it as “a quiet rage and hypnotic bliss mixing up folk and modern in the vein of Neko Case and Laura Veirs.” And adds, “there is a mystical quality to Clark’s songs that conjure up themes of both inspirational and healing.”
Explains Imogen, “Paper Boat was written in Melbourne, Australia with stunningly talented singer/songwriter/visual artist Anita Lester. I met Anita last year at an awards show, and we had an instant connection. We got together to write soon after and were opening up to each other about toxic love affairs and the fear and burden that comes with them. That image of a paper boat, something that should be sturdy and protective against stormy seas, but is really thin and fragile – it seemed to encapsulate passionate but tumultuous relationships like that, where the feeling of happiness and stability could at any time give way to a terrible storm.”
Recorded in LA and produced by Mike Bloom (Jenny Lewis, Julian Casablancas), Imogen Clark’s The Making Of Me EP features the likes of Alex Lahey, Clare Bowen, Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Attractions) and more across six tracks.
Lead single ‘Found Me’ and follow up ‘My Own Worst Enemy’ and The Making Of Me’ have already garnered praise from US and Australian tastemakers.
“With powerful vocals and an infectious drumbeat, Clark sets out to cure a broken heart. This breakup anthem will pick you up off the floor, dust you off and have you feeling ready to start seeing the world in color once again" – Parade
"Putting a more upbeat, optimistic spin on a more somber subject of breaking up, the delicate pop of “Found Me” gently pricks the pain and ultimate bravado of coming out on the other side of heartache, imbued in lyrics: I gave you every piece of me, but you never had your fill… The strongest thing I did is gently let you go… I thought you were my home, so I will make my way." – American Songwriter
"What's remarkable about Clark's performance and the song itself, is the steady, understated quality of her performance. Rather than reaching for the obvious emotions, she performs the song with steady resolve and confidence. It's ultimately a song about recovering one's self and leaving the pain of the past behind for good." – Popmatters
“… a song of defiance, strength and a bold celebration of her new-found situation. Imogen’s vocals carry you along on a euphoric wave of positivity.” – The AU Review
