Lisa Mitchell is in the midst of recording her new album, but it’s actually her one-off 2014 single ‘Wah Ha’ that’s getting all the attention. The gently folky, demo-esque song has clocked up more than 260,000 plays on Soundcloud and earned her high-level US exposure via Billboard and a live performance on KCRW’s influential Morning Becomes Eclectic program. And just today she’s unveiled a disembodied yet dance-friendly reworking of the track courtesy of Seekae.
Last December Mitchell announced a three-city tour – presented by M+N along with Yen Magazine – around ‘Wah Ha’, which will showcase an acoustic set with collaborator Tim Harvey (Team Harvey, Spiderbait) at intimate venues. Two of the three dates have already sold out, weeks before the tour begins. That’s quite a way to start the year for the acclaimed songwriter, who won The Australian Music Prize for her 2009 debut Wonder and released her latest album, Bless This Mess, in 2012.
