When They Play That Song is the fourth EP by Lisa Mitchell. The EP was announced in August 2017 with Mitchell posting on her Facebook page "So, you know how I recorded a version of The O.C. theme song "California" by Phantom Planet? Well, I decided to record a few more songs from around that time" adding it's "an EP of moments from 90s films".^[1]

Reception

Lauren from Sounds of Oz said: "Lisa approaches all the songs with a delicate touch. She needs little more than an acoustic guitar and her sweet, whispery voice to bring them to life. I appreciate the minimalist approach which lets us hear the nuances in lyrics that might have been drowned out by production in the originals."^[2]
