Catching a Tiger

Catching A Tiger, predominantly recorded with producer Jacquire King in Nashville, TN, is every bit the vibrant debut promised by last fall's Why You Runnin' EP, which introduced the heartland native, California transplant Lissie. Why You Runnin' amasses praise from Paste, Nylon, Filter, Marie Claire, Bust and The Boston Globe just to name a few. Catching A Tiger and it's advance In Sleep EP have already been earning rave reviews for this young songwriter across the pond in the UK (where the album released June 21st), with coverage in The Sun, The Sunday Times, The Mirror, 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.
