Praise for LISA MITCHELL

“Mitchell’s delicate, ethereal vocals strip us right down to vulnerable younger selves…Lisa Mitchell is that close friend you never had, the infrequent confidant to your sorrows, the kindly girl next door.”  – AAA Backstage 

“The storytelling is strong, Mitchell bringing in seemingly mundane details to etch out feelings and situations, and her songwriting style continues to shine through with the new sound.” – Beat Magazine 

“Her trademark wispy head-voice is still her go-to, but here the cutesiness gives way to something richer, and surely more enduring.”  – The Music

“Her distinct, melodic vocals had the crowd swooning.”  – Amnplify

“Mitchell, although similarly prone to introspection, releases bursts of pop splendour that epitomise the freshness of spring.”  – Scenestr

“The EP feels like a whispered secret; the listener treated almost like a confidant. Spiritus is a very personal invitation into the emotive, tender and gentle world of Lisa Mitchell.” – Lip Mag

Australian singer-songwriter Lisa Mitchell has returned with her latest single “Zombie,” along with thrilling news of her upcoming album. Superbly produced by Tom Iansek (Big Scary / #1 Dads), “Zombie” creates a dreamy soundscape that underpins Lisa’s perfect, wistful vocals that help us view life in a different, brighter light. 

On the track, Lisa said it is, “…an ode to being alive! To the glory and tragedy of feeling (and thinking!). Feeling can be the hardest thing to do sometimes, but feeling is magically linked with our human superpowers and we need those. Thank god I’m not a Zombie!”

This is a piece that manages to be both wide reaching and transformative in its exploration of what it means to be alive, and yet still speaks directly to how important the smallest of moments can sometimes feel. A gentle track empowered by the timeless vocal coats laid bare by a radiant Mitchell, this song stands as an introduction to a sound evolution. While finding ground in her natural progression,  she is remaining faithful to the fundamental sonics tied to Lisa’s honoured style.

Lisa Mitchell is renowned for her beguiling melodies and hushed tones whether playing crystal pure folk such as in the sublime “Pirouette,” or wrapped-up in subtle electro beats such as 2016’s “The Boys”, or the always-popular “Coin Laundry.” Captured in the classic yet evolved sound Lisa has developed, her latest work surrenders to Mitchell’s new mantra – ‘Supporting Your Unravelling.’  

Lisa will be celebrating the release of “Zombie” with two intimate shows in Sydney on Thursday December 2nd, at The Factory Theatre and Thursday December 9th at Corner Hotel in Melbourne. Spotify fans and Lisa Mitchell’s mailing list have an exclusive pre-sale starting today, Wednesday 29th September and general public tickets go on sale from Wednesday 6th October.

Mitchell’s fourth album is anticipated to be a glorious and heartrending tribute to what it means to be alive and learning in the world, having been old enough to feel it’s bruises and heartbreaks, but also be at the beginning of understanding our own individual insignificance within it. Written in the thick of the first year of a global pandemic that forced everyone’s lives and spheres to become very small and very still, the album is  deeply introspective and impactful. 

We have a collective cultural memory of Mitchell as a teenage girl appearing on a reality television show, but she has grown so far beyond the hesitancy and insecurity of youth. After crash-landing into the music industry while still at school, Lisa released her debut EP when she was just 17, and her second at 18; both accomplished folk pieces harbouring pop ambitions. Mitchell’s full-length debut, Wonder, delivered on their promise, reaching No. 6 in Australia and going Platinum. Countless Australian, UK and European tours and festival appearances followed. With highlights such as a spot at Glastonbury, ARIA nominations, and winning the Australian Music Prize.

The follow up album Bless This Mess, introduced a wider sonic scope, tethering lush piano-driven pop to jangly, rock flourishes. On her third album Warriors, Mitchell wanted to shake things up, enlisting producer Eric J to balance the organic instrumentation with electronic flourishes.  

After six years between albums, the shift from ingenue to powerful truth teller and weaver of magic is complete. On Mitchell’s fourth album, you can expect to follow the intrepid journey of Lisa’s own unravelling. To unravel a thing doesn’t mean to destroy it or even to separate it into a million pieces. An unraveled object becomes a singular piece, stripped bare of the artificial shape and form it held before. Unraveling is the precursor to rebuilding, a transition that can and should be done intentionally. In this album, the listener can hear Mitchell’s attempts to be deliberate about her humanity and her choices.
