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 falls Why You Runnin EP (Fat Possum), which introduced the heartland-native, California transplant Lissie. Why You Runnin amassed praise from Paste (Best of Whats 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 years true finds), The Big Issue, and on the BBC. Lissies 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 years SXSW festival, a run that caught the attention of Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Perez Hilton, and Aquarium Drunkard, among others.
