Four albums into her career, Courtney Barnett remains one of the most distinctive and compelling voices in indie rock, a singer-songwriter who mixes deeply insightful observations with devastating self-assessment. With countless awards in her home of Australia as well as Grammy and BRIT nominations, fawning press and an adoring audience, Barnett’s rise to global prominence felt both unprecedented and important.
Music fans have rarely witnessed the breathless acclaim and superlatives that comprised reviews of Barnett’s debut album “Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Think” -Rolling Stone praised her as “one of the sharpest, most original songwriters around—at any level, in any genre... a self-strafing humourist á la Lena Dunham who’s also a Dylan-style word ninja”. 2017 saw the release of the wonderful album ""Lotta Sea Lice”, an introspective but beautiful album of duets with Kurt Vile and a gorgeous place-holder while we awaited the release of 2018’s world-weary-but-fierce sophomore solo album “Tell Me How You Really Feel”.
