Grace Mitchell – Daughter of The King

‘Daughter of The King’ is the debut album for Naarm based singer-songwriter Grace Mitchell.

Grace began writing the first songs for the album 5 years ago in Hollywood. After returning to Australia three years ago, the multi-instrumentalist – who plays keyboards, drums and guitar – recorded and added the final touches to Daughter of the King last year at Melbourne’s Lily Street Studios.

Following the release of her first two singles – the indie-rock anthem “Destroy”, which received high rotation airplay on Double J, and the grungey earworm “Head On” – Grace Mitchell now shares her AA-side single, “Baseball Hat” / “In The Other Room”.

Mitchell takes listeners on a trippy sonic ride with ‘Baseball Hat’, a hazy, introspective track which Grace says “is about wishing for something more. It’s about reflecting on your life until a particular moment and realizing it isn’t enough of the dream you imagined.”

In contrast, the pared-back “In The Other Room” explores the quiet loneliness of feeling like a stranger in your own home. “As time passes you become more distant from your lover until one day you wake up and notice you’ve been reduced to housemates.”
