 “At My Age” Out Now on Rum Bar Records

 
 

“Against a backdrop of bright heartland rock, this song is a heavy hitter on the matter of women’s reproductive rights and the choices they ought morally to be able to make. Sit down and be prepared to think.” ~ Melissa Clarke, Americana Highways

“An unapologetic declaration, using the Boston artist’s lived experience to buck the narrative that abortions disproportionately benefit younger folks.” ~ Victoria Wasylak, Vanyaland

Magen Tracy has written a lot of smart, tight rock songs but 'At My Age' might be a new peak. Political and personal, anthemic and intimate, 'At My Age' is so much at once: a perfect nugget of a rock song, an honest look at a personal decision, and a mighty act of defiance in a country that refuses to let women decide what is right for their lives and their futures." - Jed Gottlieb, Boston Herald

“‘At My Age’ is an anthemic country laced rocker that sounds more mid-West than Northeast. It's angry in the way that the best songs from Bruce Springsteen and Lucinda Williams are angry.” ~ If It’s Too Loud

About

 

With a catalog that ranges from pop effervescence to alt-country grit—with plenty of rock in between—Magen Tracy & the Missed Connections are a Boston-area favorite known for earworm melodies, sharp lyrical play, and high-energy live shows, opening for such acts as Lydia Loveless, Lily Hiatt, and Julianna Hatfield. Led by songwriter Tracy, a three-time Boston Music Award nominee, the band’s piano-driven songs, tight harmonies, and feminist edge take inspiration from acts like Jenny Lewis and Fleetwood Mac—all backed by a top-notch band that includes Stud Green on violin and guitar, Tamora Gooding on drums, Mike Oram on guitar, and Sam Spencer on bass. Their latest single, "At My Age" has garnered rave reviews as a "perfect nugget of a rock song...and a mighty act of defiance" (Boston Herald) and a "heavy hitter on the matter of women’s reproductive rights" (Americana Highways).

“This song creates triangles of sound around you, with lyrical images of light and freedom.” - Melissa Clarke, Americana Highways

“an indie-folk carnival for the senses. The new album employs echoing guitars and fiery drum beats in tracks like "(Even the Good Guys) Fall," melancholy piano melodies in "Move a Crowd," and gorgeous harmonies in songs like "Sweetheart." - Rene Cobar, The Deli New England

“You know those jam-packed gems recorded at Muscle Shoals? Magen Tracy’s debut single “Fiercely” feels like one of those…The singer-songwriter-keyboard queen doesn’t sound retro, but she delivers old-school sleazy swagger — you can almost hear that “Gimme Shelter” scream in the background.” - Jed Gottlieb, Boston Herald

“A rootsy twirl around folk and Americana that’s aided by Tracy’s sharp lyrical play.” - Michael Marotta, Vanyaland

“A smokey speakeasy vibe with rock n’ roll and a bit of glam rock…The melody digs itself into your brain and won’t dislodge.” - Brian Carroll, Red Line Roots
