PRAISE FOR ELIZABETH
"My band and I were fortunate to get to see Elizabeth at the end of the day at Dark Mofo Festival in Tasmania. It felt like a David Lynch scene. A powerful moment. My memory is that it was 5 or 6 women, all very striking and moody and passionate. The melodies immediately captured me. I knew I had to stay. I looked over to each band mate and they were all hypnotized, in their own world. The build and arrangement of each song poured over me and made me wish I could be part of their band. Thoughtful. Heartbreaking. Real. And surreal.”
Sharon Van Etten
“Chaotic, heartbroken pop in the vein of Lykke Li and Sky Ferreira.”
Fader
“Gauzy synth and shoegaze guitar... finds a space between the haze of Cocteau Twins and the clarity of Top 40 pop"
The Saturday Paper
"Elizabeth is here, queer and will make you shed every last tear...Though Elizabeth is ultimately about extracting beauty from the catastrophic, as the album progresses and sad ballads evolve into glittering bangers, the final message is one about self-care, self-indulgence, and celebrating the femme."
FBi Radio
“[Elizabeth draws] equally from Lana Del Rey’s melancholic femme-fatale persona and the hermetic fantasies of David Lynch… By sublimating these recollections into glossy soft rock, Mitchell makes the memory of domestic life more seductive than the reality.”
Sydney Morning Herald
Today beloved patron saint of sad girls Elizabeth shares a magnetising live version of 2022 single 'If You Died' plus a stunning video Live at Thornbury Theatre from her enchanting performance at her 2022 curated mini-festival A Night with Elizabeth. The EP will be released Friday 26th May via Antifragile Music and Our Golden Friend.
Recorded and engineered by Bonnie Knight and mixed by Liam 'Snowy' Halliwell the EP captures the live magic of Elizabeth's new band. The accompanying videos by Andrew Watson of Semi Conductor Media paint a mesmerising picture of a pop heroine claiming her space on her elaborate home stage.
Of the release of the live video for 'If You Died' Elizabeth says “It’s such a strange and new experience for me to write a song completely in a studio, never really imagining how it will be to sing it in a room with real people there. That’s how If You Died came to life, and this live version was the first time I had ever sung it in public. It felt so special like we were making something new together in the room, and I am happy to deliver that to you now”
This Live EP sees Elizabeth return to the stage, bringing a swish of neon taffeta and a glimmering sultry honesty, seen through her 2022 Suite of Songs. The three, interconnected singles and accompanying visuals expand and complicate her richly alluring world. The first single from the Suite 'Happier Now' was added to FBi Radio, MTV Australia and rage, received airplay on triple j, Unearthed, Double J, RRR and 4ZZZ, with NME Australia, Notion, The Music, Music Feeds and more all singing its praises. The lyrical motifs of her debut album The Wonderful World of Nature (2019) are recast in neon on the Suite, their old prismatic glow replaced by a dangerous, alluring coolness.
Elizabeth captures the reckless thrill of romance like no other. On The Wonderful World of Nature, she stepped away from a messy divorce like a world-weary heroine pulling herself from the wreckage of a car crash: broken glass shining like glitter, bloodstains smearing like blush. Contrasting lush dreampop haze with visceral, disarmingly truthful lyricism, it was a pop record out of time - glamorous and tragic, ultra modern and undeniably timeless, a queer answer to nihilistic, powerfully feminine pop heroes like Lana Del Rey and Lorde. Capturing hearts and minds of media and fans across the globe, the record saw widespread acclaim from The Saturday Paper, FADER, Wonderland, frankie, Pilerats, The Music and Tone Deaf, amongst others, and was included in Album of the Year lists across The Guardian, The Saturday Paper and the Herald Sun.
