As The North Attracts The Needle
It is hard to think of a time when Paul McLaney wasn’t part of the music landscape in Aotearoa New Zealand; you’d be hard pressed to find a musician with a more diverse recorded output.
A new collection of songs for acoustic guitar and voice.
Flaws are an integral part of being human.
There is truth in simplicity. Breathing in, breathing out. There is wisdom in naivety. Instinct wrestles with knowledge. Songs in the bellies of acoustic guitars. Meditations in every moment we allow them the space to bloom. As the North attracts the needle, that persistentpull towards one’s own personal legend. Ten songs. One guitar. One voice. An endless conversation.
‘Music without empathy is just noise. As I was completing these songs I knew I wanted to personally take them out and perform them in intimate spaces up and down the country. Social Media creates a vicarious reality of community and I want to engage audiences in real time; again in that tradition of the troubadour.’
