I don’t think you’re ever a hundred percent in the room

Hard choice for what to post for today. I just have been downloading music like crazy lately (probably thanks to my new and improved internet connection). I think I'll post about the artist I know nothing about (yay surprises!). I heard this song while flipping through channels last night, it played on the outro for some show I'd never heard of, but I was pretty enchanted right away.

The track is called "Neopolitan Dreams" by Lisa Mitchell. The intro is a little odd with the completely out of place xylophone flourish. The highlight of the track has to be her breathy vocals, which kind of take on a cutesy Elliot Smith-esque vibe. Her website aptly describes her music as Indie-Pop which is probably as accurate a description as I have ever heard. The Australian born singer got a recording deal with Sony's UK branch and just came out with her first album Wonder. I'm not sure if I'll love all her music, but this song is definitely a shiny little track that just sounds so pleasant, up-beat, and damn happy.
