Lisa Mitchell Announces New Album & Tour PLUS A Brand New Single "I Believe In Kindness"
Lisa Mitchell has gifted us with three treats: her brand new single “I Believe In Kindness,” the release date for her upcoming fourth studio album and tour dates around Australia, starting in May this year. We couldn’t be more excited!!
“I wrote, I Believe in Kindness, the day before the Global Climate Strike (2019) in Melbourne/Naarm. Everyone was going. My body hummed with a feeling that I couldn’t quite put my finger on... The next day 100,000 people gathered, along with millions all over the world, in devotion to our Mother (earth). Elders spoke alongside school students and activists as they shared our needs for a safe future. It is terrifying that our governments’ policies are nowhere near good enough to protect our futures and care for Country. And yet, the feeling of being together that day still fuels my faith in humanity and reminds me of the power of a feeling.”
“I Believe In Kindness” maintains the focus on all-acoustic, all-natural instrumentation, and features the Irish Uilleann pipes - a nod to Lisa’s Celtic roots - but employed in this track like a swirling psych rock synth. With its massive-sounding syncopated drums courtesy of Kishore Ryan (Kid Sam / Otouto) and of course Lisa’s captivating voice front and centre which when it asks “Can you feel it?” makes it impossible not to.
Lisa also announces details of her new album A Place To Fall Apart along with the accompanying Album Launch Tour. The album 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 go on sale Thursday 3rd February at 9am (AEDT) and include album pre-order bundles.
