LISA MITCHELL
releases stunning new single
“SUMMONING”
.
.
Known for her beguiling melodies and hushed tones, Mitchell is finding ground in her natural progression, however remaining faithful to the fundamental sonics tied to her honored style. Summoning is like no other with smooth and soft strings accompanied by her wispy vocals.
There is a continued theme of embracing humility and dismantling oneself in order to grow and do better in the world. She expresses the severity of climate change through the upcoming album “A Place to Fall Apart” and how we absolutely need to do better. The album and track “Summoning” touches on waking up to the depth of culture all around Mitchell as a non-Indigenous person, and realising the deeper layers of what it means to live in so-called Australia.
Speaking on Summoning, Lisa said, ‘There are secrets in this Wollemi pine.’ The other voice on this recording is that of Jess Hitchcock, a singer-songwriter with family origins from the Torres Strait Islands and Papua New Guinea. We both find great connection and meaning in our ancestry, and so it is not surprising that we wrote this song in only one day! The song begins with us singing to the oldest trees in the continent, the Wollemi pines, ( only discovered ten years ago in the Blue Mountains, after being presumed extinct!) asking them for answers to our modern problems. It moves between a love-song and a conversation with the spirits of the land. We summon our inner knowing, and we call upon the wisdom of the land to help us find our way through this modern mess. Part love-song, part remembering of inner wisdom, and the support that is available from the land.
Mitchell’s fourth album A Place To Fall Apart to be released April 22 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. The lyrics within the album are deeply introspective and impactful, 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.
Lisa has announced details of her new album A Place To Fall Apart along with the accompanying Album Launch Tour starting Friday May 20 in Red Hill. A Place To Fall Apart is produced by Tom Iansek (Big Scary / #1Dads) and features the new single “I Believe In Kindness” and “Zombie.” The album will be released digitally and vinyl on April 22.
Tickets for the A Place To Fall Apart Album Launch Tour with Lisa’s stunning five-piece band are on sale now and include album pre-order bundles.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
