Born in England to a Scottish father, Lisa moved to Australia at three years old and made it her home. She grew up in something of a musical timewarp, grateful to her father for raising her on Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens and Van Morrison, all the while finding obsessions of her own, like Bright Eyes or The Killers.

All of these influences put a burgeoning talent as a singer-songwriter through a unique new filter and made a rich and expressive instrument of her honeycracked voice. It’s an instrument that’s already won her several plaudits along the way.

The twee and quirky single ‘Neopolitan Dreams’, which starts off with a soft guitar strum and playful xylophone, has a strong resemblance to Feist’s ‘1234’ and like that, teasingly has you singing along instantaneously.

Despite being a cute and soft tinder-box lullaby at first listen, if you scratch the surface it splinters into a kaleidoscope of imagery displaying an emotional breadth and stark confessions that 17-year-olds are not often given the chance to showcase.

“I guess it stems from a parting of two people, obviously me and someone else,” says Lisa of the song. “That’s where the spirit of the song came from, but then it moves into a place of like, not having such a clear idea of where you’re headed. But then when the refrain comes in, the ‘ba-da ba-das’, it’s like saying ‘there’s so much going on, but hey, fuck it, we’re just gonna have fun’.”
