Catching A Tiger, predominantly recorded with producer Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Norah Jones, Modest Mouse) in Nashville, TN, is every bit the vibrant debut promised by last fall’s Why You Runnin’ EP (Fat Possum), which introduced the heartland-native, California transplant Lissie. Why You Runnin’ amassed praise from Paste (‘Best of What’s Next’), Nylon, Filter, Marie Claire, Bust, and The Boston Globe, to name just a few. Catching A Tiger and its advance In Sleep EP have already been earning rave reviews for this young songwriter across the pond in the UK (where the album will be released June 21st), with coverage in The Sun, The Sunday Times, The Mirror (“One of the year’s true finds”), The Big Issue, and on the BBC. Lissie’s UK press run was capped off last month with a transcendent performance of the hymn-like “Oh Mississippi” on the legendary Live with Jools Holland. Catching A Tiger also follows her 10-shows-in-4-days sprint at this year’s SXSW festival, a run that caught the attention of Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Perez Hilton, and Aquarium Drunkard, among others. 1.
