Hey everyone!
Again, this week’s album again comes from the Midwest from singer/songwriter Elisabeth Maurus, more well known by her stage name, Lissie. She has released two EPs since 2007 and has finally put out her debut album, Catching a Tiger, on Columbia Records. The vocals are intense, the music simple and together it makes for a whirlwind of a record. At times, the record tends to sound more country than folk, but the emotional connection that Lissie shows throughout the songs (see: the bridge of the record opener Record Collector), makes the album a recommendation for people who appreciate any kind of music.
Overall, a great pop/folk album and it’s out now in record stores and on iTunes so check it out! And if you’re not 100% sold yet, check out iTunes single of the week and click back to the week of December 26th and you’ll be able to grab yourself a copy of When I’m Alone, the first single off the album.
Until next week!
