Miss Christine Bares Her Musical Soul On Conversion

Out Now – LP/CD/DIGI
++ Announces July Tour ++

Miss Christine shares her Conversion album. Conversion is a collection of songs that resulted from Miss Christine’s return to her home state of Iowa after a number of years working in Nashville as a bassist for hire. While the experience of working with artists such as Lucy Dacus, ELEL and Kalie Shorr, as well as touring internationally, has many trappings of a dream job, Christine found herself unfulfilled. Having made the decision to leave Nashville, Christine settled on a farm in Eastern Iowa and took time to explore the inner workings of her mind. Meditation became part of her daily routine. In her new surroundings she found the space to reflect on her Nashville experience. “Sometimes we have to leave behind what we know to discover how much better things can be”, she explains. Stargazing in the flyover state beside her library of Beatles memorabilia, Christine crafted the foundations of her debut full-length. Indie rock, new wave, bluesy soul influences and more all find their home amongst a punky grit and heartfelt lyrical topics. Gender, personal strength, challenging relationships, and the current political climate in the United States, are just some of the subjects tackled in Conversion. It’s clear that in finding a new home in Iowa, Christine also found her a renewed voice. A voice that is truly her own.

Conversion contains the previously-released singles “Be Present”, “Entitled”, “Nightmare In The Daytime”, and “Conversion”. Each one offering a different glimpse into Christine’s musical personality. “Be Present” is a swinging rocker with a clear punk influence, “Entitled” balances light melody with crunchy low end fuzz, “Nightmare In The Daytime” has lyrics delivered with vitriolic anger, “Conversion” is reflective and almost fragile in it’s openness. Listeners to Conversion will now be able to enjoy discovering the classic blues groove of “Dollar Signs” and the spacious indie-rock balladry of “Rewind” amongst other highlights.

The release of Conversion follows the EPs Monkeyin’ Around (2012) and Dichotomy (2014). These releases caught love from What’s My Scene, KUNI (NPR radio affiliate), and more.

Miss Christine also announces a run of north-eastern US tour dates, with more dates to be released shortly.
