Lisa Mitchell checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Wednesday (October 8) with an update on the status of her debut album ‘The Attic Space’. The ‘Australian Idol’ season four finalist writes:
The album is finished. I had the most magical time recording it with Anthony Whiting, who produced it. I met him when I was in London last year and we enjoyed working together so much that I wanted to make and album with him. I’m a little mournful to have finished it – I would’ve loved to be in that cocoon of just recording and experimenting day after day for a lot longer. I would wake up every morning and chat to the cabbie on the way to the studio – usually they were in a good mood if I was running on time. Then I’d sit in ‘Peter’s Cafe’, (a dodgy little ‘greasy spoon’ diner-type place where all the fluoro-coated council workers go for their chips and burgers before their shifts start. Not bad coffee either.) a daily nook which I became quite fond of just near the studio for a cup of coffee and a moment to myself before we got into recording for the day. Into the green cavern of West Point studio to strum a beautiful old Gretsch electric guitar and spend hour after hour frolicking and probably the equal equivalent wrestling with perfection filled up the days. I suppose it had to end though, or else noone would ever hear it.
