We know him as Starsmith, but his birth certificate reads Finlay Dow-Smith born July 8th 1988. The kid is just barely 23 and already making some pretty crafty music with a sound closely resembling the faceless dynamic duo of electronic music themselves, Daft Punk. Starsmith has written and produced Ellie Goulding's "Starry Eyed", "The Writer", and "Guns and Horses".. amongst others, and has already received praise for a whole stockpile of his up-tempo remixes.

Indie PopLisa Mitchell is an Australian singer and songwriter noted for her appearance on Australian Idol. Her sound is reminiscent of a past post highlighting Alex Winston, carrying a distinct vocal prowess complimented by an almost cheery, folk undertone (along with the looks to match). Her lyrical style also reminds me somewhat of Regina Spektor's works, that is you most likely won't be able
Back in September we shared s song and video form Sydney outfit Georgia Fair' s debut EP, Time Flys. They recently finshed touring Daniel Lee Kendall and have offered a limited free download of their track, "Marianne" off their debut. Marianne features backup vocals from FGTW favs - Lisa Mitchell and Boy & Bear ' MARIANNE ' (Feat. LISA MITCHELL + BOY & BEAR)
Occasionally there are milestone tunes, ones which cause sonic currents worthy of running a tempest aground, yet fortunately this cargo has been saved from the storm, so allow me the pleasure to dish out the goods. Today the tide has brought us Lanny May, a German artist who has willingly crafted exceptional electronic music these last 8 years. He has always delivered his listeners, what can only be described, as an exquisite and varying platter of audible proportions. Lanny provides the prototypes for the imitators, and maintains the missing elements of one's playlist. His obsessive fans like myself, are continually [...]
We are much in tune with the feminine perspective here at TWJ. Before you ask: "Why Women?", we answer: "Why not?" There are messages and moments that speak best when sung with a woman's voice and sensitivities. Most certainly we are bold, we are strong, we are Smog. But we have a bare soft spot [...]
Lisa Mitchell - Neopolitan Dream (Nilow Remix) Consider this a fair warning: this is a dubstep song. I know, I know. If I was you, generally I would stop reading right now too. But hear me out! This isn't regular WOMP WOMP WOMP dubstep, its dreamy alt-folk dubstep. Confused? So was I when I first heard it. Nilow manages to mix the two genres together and somehow bring out the best of both of them - its both intimate and heavy, anchored to the ground by the dub bass while the vocals are fluttery and light. [...]
I don't know why, but this is amazing. Maybe the soft dubstepish bassline, or simply the vocals, but it's definitely amazing. A thousand thanks to Niek for the find. Update: Joe is still awesome. Lisa Mitchell - Neopolitan Dreams (Nilow Remix) Lisa Mitchell | Nilow
LISA MITCHELL Indie/Pop/Folk Myspace | Website | Twitter While television shows like American Idol rarely ever find musicians who can translate successfully into popular music sphere, it seems as if a shy Aussie beat the slim odds. Lisa Mitchell , an Australian Idol alum, stood out on the talent show for her coy, singer-songwriter demeanor. Released in 2009, Mitchell recorded her debut full-length Wonder in the UK, which has now reached Platinum in Australia. Canadians who do not know her might have [...]
Aussie beauty Lisa Mitchell , born in Canterbury, England but raised in New South Wales, Australia, is just twenty years old. She's probably best known for the appearance of her lovely song 'Neopolitan Dreams' on a fabric softener advert a couple of years back. It may have been Persil but I might be mistaken. I digress. Lisa took to the stage of the packed out Living Room tent thirty minutes late due to an unexpected and complex full band setup behind her, and completed a short set of perfectly pretty acoustic ditties that went down well with [...]
Is there life after Idol rejection? For quirky, quixotic 19-year-old Australian singer/songwriter Lisa Mitchell the answer is an emphatic yes. Four years after getting the boot from the finals of the Down Under version of the popular cringefest, Mitchell delivered one of the most remarkable pop albums of the past year, an unusual, dreamy and surprisingly mature collection of addictive hooks, sunny, unpretentious goofiness and her own left-of-center musical vision. Not many debut albums can sound this fresh, this fun, this child-like and this mature at the same time but the recently released Wonder (outside the [...]
this time we'll leave this town ♫ Georgia Fair - Picture Frames The only thing better than finding a new favorite song is having it been recommended by one of our very own. ( Thanks Lisa !) It wasn't easy tracking down this jam but was definitely worth the effort. "Picture Frames" is a folksy toe-tapper that begs for you to sing along as it delightfully bounces around your speakers. Lisa put it well when she mentioned "road trips." I can definitely see this jam inducing a bit of lead-foot on the gas [...]

ok. Aeons . Two dudes out of Sydney producing some pretty killer remixes and originals . They've just remixed Lisa Mitchell's latest single Oh Hark! and, well, it's really really nice. A few remixes of this track have surfaced in the past week or so but I think this one just tips the others at the post. The Aeons boys have also just finished an EP, with production coming from none other than Diamond Cut. Expect some pretty big things from these guys. They've got it pretty down pat. Lisa Mitchell - [...]
There's a few floating around, they appeared on AusPop (hi m8!). And there's also a nice unofficial one from local lads Aeons . Lisa Mitchell - Oh! Hark! (Aeons Remix) Lisa Mitchell - Oh! Hark! (Yes Giantess Remix) Lisa Mitchell - Oh! Hark! (Sound of Arrows Remix) Grab the Ou Est Le Swimming Pool remix from iTunes , and catch Lisa on tour in Australia this May -Mandu
Following all the drama that was the amp awards it's refreshing to see a positive Lisa Mitchell vibe come of it with some catchy cosmic remixes from Sound of Arrows and sydney bro's Aeons . Both of these won't be played at your local club between 'warp' and 'sexy bitch' by the opening dj at 8pm but more so at the shiny disco-tech somewhere around the curly wurly vampire weekend and passion pit remixes. Plump chords and perfectly combined vocals. Lisa Mitchell - Oh Hark! (Sound of [...]
Beautiful songstress Lisa Mitchell debuted her single and video, "Oh Hark!" from her gold album, "Wonder" last month. We caught her live at BDO earlier in the year. She was just as beautiful as you find her here in person. Lisa Mitchel, Live @ Big Day Out Festival, Melbourne AU 1/26/10 Lisa Mitchel - Oh Hark!
Lisa Mitchell - Oh! Hark! Little Rhode Island is under water right now. Not unlike the movie with Kevin Costner - which I recall only liking because it had the chick from that seal movie, Andre. Anyway, enough about the weather. Lets talk Lisa Mitchell. This 19-year old Albury-native (for those of you not familiar with geography in the southern hemisphere, Albury sits in the sticks on the border of Victoria and New South Wales), found fame as a finalist on Australian Idol at the rife old age of 16. Since then, [...]
Australian hip-to-the-hopper (and new EMI signing) 360 has made an oddly satisfying booty of Lisa Mitchell's hit 'Coin Laundry' Lisa Mitchell + 360 - Do You Have A Dollar (Coin Laundry) Bit of different spin on, erm, the 'themes' of the original but interesting none the less. What do y'all think about hip-hoppers making mad re-edits of popular tunes? Is it a bit 90's or a bit awesome? -Mandu
Lisa Mitchell , a former Australian Idol finalist at the tender age of 16, now at only 19 years old has been riding a big wave of success this past year- she's toured with Jason Mraz, headlined her own national tour, played in the UK at the legendary Glastonbury Festival, has worked with industry heavyweights on her stunning debut album Wonder and been nominated for three ARIAS. She also toured heavily in her own country this past summer (Aussie summer that is) where we were able to catch this beautiful young songbird at Big [...]
