Introducing: Lisa Mitchell

• 10th Nov 2014

The Wannadies meets yé-yé period 60’s French pop in this beguiling new track from Aussie new kid on the block Lisa Mitchell – a laid back, sensual and organic slice of lounge music that manages to sidestep the cheese and serve up a hefty helping of nostalgia instead.

“This video came about it a unexpected way,” Mitchell explains. “A good friend, Kirrilee Bailey, and I went up to the snow for the weekend during the winter season just passed. We stayed in a lodge that was like something out of a Wes Anderson film is an alpine wilderness full of childhood memories of going skiing with my family.”

“I spent our time on the chairlifts rambling to Kirri while she clung to her cameras, about the ski-runs my sister and I loved and where we’d meet Mum and Dad for hot chocolate at the bottom,” she continues. “Kirri and I didn’t ski this time – we just took in the views, played with Kirri’s prism lenses in the heavenly light and got lost in the bluest sky I’d seen in a while. The footage was so charming that we realised it would make the perfect accompaniment to Wah Ha; grounded in the Australian Landscape but somehow floating off into the ether.”

Mitchell has just landed in London, greeted by a pair of sold out shows to happen this week followed by an instore at Rough Trade West.
