After a pretty beastly exam on Friday I was excited to find this little jam in my mailbox when I got home. Her name is Lissie , and she's got an EP out on Fat Possum called Why You Runnin'. Things you should know: she's from rural Illinois and her voice is fantastic. But she doesn't just rest on that. Songs like "Little Lovin" showcase both her evocative voice and her gift as a song-writer. The EP's only 5 tracks, all of them showing a little bit of a different side of [...]
Major new female voice of the year to knock our socks off is Rock Island, Illinois' Lissie. EP on Fat Possum called Why You Runnin' was produced by Band of Horses bassist Bill Reynolds. Lissie's last name is Maurus, if you're curious. Did you miss Lissie's Daytrotter session from almost 11 months ago? Hope not. Pastoral, bluesy, intimate soulful stuff.Little Lovin - Lissie
Sleep Bellum Sono reminds me of something nutty, like The Paper Chase or a stripped down Mars Volta. New album, Judge Us By How We Lived Our Lives, Not By How We Made A Living popping soon. Sleep Bellum Sono: "A House Of Spades Stands No Chance Against The Wind (Gambler)" Bellflur: "Grey Sparkle Finnish Pig" Tim Williams: "Murderous Air" Little Girls:"Growing" [...]
"Little Lovin'" is a high time, freshly tilled spiritual drawn under the full moon and taken from Lissie's upcoming EP Why You Runnin' , out November 10th on Fat Possum. Lissie recorded "Little Lovin'" and most of the Why You Runnin' EP in her Ojai, CA, farmhouse and at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, NC, with friend Bill Reynolds (of Band of Horses).

The apostrophe at the end tells it all. Lissie's recently released single, "Little Lovin'" is a solid artifact of post-millenial approximation of that wonderful era of country, the one that came after the seminal gents now thought of as "old country" - the kind hipsters feel comfortable hat-tipping on their facebook profiles - but before the CMT-driven new country dreck that polluted the airwaves in the 90s. As a track, "Little Lovin'" immediately earns "play on repeat" status for me. Twenty seconds in, you get a real good idea of what it is - a Marshall [...]

Last weekend I was hooked on Lissie's upcoming EP, Why You Runnin' , due out on 11/10 via Fat Possum Records. This new school folkie is from Rock Island, IL but now lives alone in a farmhouse in Ojai, CA where she drinks wine and paints rocks. I seriously pulled that from her bio. Thinks are looking up for Lissie, who is embarking on a November tour with Ray Lamontagne. We're working on booking her for a live session when she passes through the windy (and cold) city. Lissie - Little Lovin
[mp3] Lissie: "Little Lovin'" Why You Runnin' (Fat Possum, 11/10) is the new EP from Rock Island, Illinois' Lissie . She sings like a more polished, rural Cat Power, and her songs, while slightly fashioned for the mainstream, hold a unique mid-western charm that make them at once authentic and appealing. She has a penchant for cigarettes and pie (according to her myspace) which is ok in our book. It will be interesting to see how she develops, and how her eventual LP will turn out. It seems she's [...]
This weekend, my wife's brother got married: a wedding a long time coming, and as such, planned to the last detail. His blushing bride wore vintage lace in cream and brown, as befit the season and their shared love of the natural world, and for moment there, time stopped, like it should, when he in his best grey suit turned to watch her come up our impromptu aisle, her flower-girls tight against her, unsure of the attention. The minister was lighthearted and blessedly brief, the speeches fine and poignant, and throughout it all, [...]
Writing an introduction for these things is becoming increasingly difficult. After all, each new Friday Mixtape seems to one up the last, leaving me scouring the thesaurus in hopes of finding a new way to say awesome! Awe-inspiring? Wondrous? Mind-blowing? All work... and all describe this week's edition, which of course features a mix of the best new singles, remixes, and covers as well as mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out. NEW Singles: "Shape Shifter" by Armistead Burwell Smith IV (of Pinback) [...]
