Prisoner is the debut full length studio album recorded and released by Australian four-piece musical group The Jezabels. It was released on 16 September 2011 on PIAS Recordings and Mom + Pop Music. It was recorded at Sydney's Attic Studios with producer Lachlan Mitchell[1] and mixed by Peter Katis.[2] Prisoner was news.com.au Entertainment's album of the week during the week of its release.[3] The album won the 2011 Australian Music Prize and was described as "a cocktail of power and elegance, rising like a force to be reckoned with. Dramatic, creative songwriting is delivered with ferocity by commanding front woman Hayley Mary. The Jezabels have firmly cemented their place in the Australian music industry and abroad."[4]
