Lisa Mitchell
Warriors
Warriors sees Mitchell team up with US producer Eric J Dubowsky (Chet Faker, Flume), who has brought a new dimension to her songs, combining the beguiling charm of her songwriting with a new found electronic influence. Having already achieved Top Ten status in her native Australia, Warriors’ resultant ten tracks portray a lightness of groove that hasn’t previously been a focus of Mitchell’s music and consequently mirrors a shift in both her listening habits and personal taste. Mitchell’s songwriting intuition has benefitted from a widely travelled CV through both playing live and her own excursions, and this exploration has profoundly altered her perspective; both from where she came from and who she is. Closer to home comes album opener The Boys, narrating the literal experience of a typical summers day driving around Sydney with a group of male friends mourning the death of one of their dads, warm vocals ambling over a bed of skittering percussion. The track was added to the playlist of Australia’s highly influential Triple J national radio station, and ‘boysing’ – lip-synching to the song while laying on one’s front! - has become something of a viral phenomenon down under.
