Viewfinder: Lisa Mitchell

by Amber on November 27, 2009

Lisa Mitchell is an Australian singer-songwriter. I interviewed her in September and found her to be a super-charming girl – very down to earth. We had a nice chat over coffee about her new album, Wonder, playing festivals, and what she’d do if she wasn’t a singer-songwriter (something in design or maybe aid work). At the end of it all she yanked off her grape Melissa/Vivienne Westwood shoes at the café table and flourished them for my inspection. A real cutie.

Here’s three of her videos for your perusal. All were directed by Vanessa Casswill and have a sort of twee teacups and polaroids feel to them.

Coin Laundry:

Funnily enough when she performed at an industry showcase in Auckland, the venue was right next to a Laundromat. Coincidence?

Neopolitan Dreams:

Click here to watch the video (unfortunately the video autoplays, so not embedded) – it’s my favourite song on the album!

Neopolitan Dreams

Those of you in the UK may recognise the song from a Surf laundry ad on television.

Clean White Love:

The latest music video, which completely indulges me in all my English countryside fantasies – wellingtons, umbrellas and ponies.

Becca: You’re welcome! She told me she has a big fan base in the UK now because of that ad and that everyone was singing along at Glastonbury :)

Did you know her album was on special last week on NZ iTunes??
It was very handy – I loved the Neapolitan Dreams song so much I dashed over to purchase it and managed to save $10 at the same time!

Great collection for me to be really introduced to her, Thanks!
