The new music follows the release of her 2016 album My Wild West, which received widespread critical praise. Marie Claire proclaimed, [Its] primed to be a ray of light amidst the doldrums of winter, while The Guardian calls it, Heartfelt songs of pain, solidarity and rural retreat. Written predominantly from Lissies new home in Northeast Iowa, Castles represents a spiritual as well as musical development. Its a portrait of an artist who has always been on the move and is finally creating a sense of permanencya chance to catch her breath and reflect. Of the record, Lissie says, The album title Castles and the themes of the music itself suggest a striving and a heightened vantage point. I can stand above myself in the tower of my mind and reflect on my relationships and life. There is a maturity, experience and self awareness to these songs that feel like a natural progression within the context of my work to date.
