Lissie has announced the release of her new covers EP, ‘Cryin’ To You’, featuring re-worked versions of Danzig’s Mother, One Direction’s Story of My Life, Judas Priest’s Electric Eye, Drake’s Hold On, We’re Going Home and Bob Dylan’s To Ramona.
The EP is set to be released digitally on March 9. Pre-order here.
"The band and I are very excited to release our new covers EP 'Cryin' To You'. Self produced in our home of Ojai, CA. It's our first independent release! We were approached to cover Mother by Danzig which led to a fun week in the studio that inspired us to lay down some other covers we had either been playing live already or had been wanting to do.
“I chose Story of My Life because it was a current hit with lyrics I could identify with. I chose Electric Eye because a friend suggested I check it out after a conversation we'd had about the Internet and privacy. It was ahead of its time! We've been performing Hold On, We're Going Home live and I think it's a really beautiful song. To Ramona I'd covered as a solo artist and its message still speaks to me today. We've jokingly called what we’ve made roller rink folk metal but as silly as it sounds I think this work is indicative of what's to come. Raw and tough yet still tender and vulnerable. I really hope people enjoy it!"
This month Lissie will hit UK stages with a string of headline dates.
