Anything but pedestrian
Courtney Barnett streams debut album in full
‘Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit’ is out this March.
Aussie gem Courtney Barnett is streaming her superb debut album in full.
‘Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit’ is out 23rd March, following on from Barnett’s ‘Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas’, released back in 2013.
It contains the previously unveiled ‘Pedestrian At Best’ single and the desolate suburbia of ‘Depreston’. Every aspect of Barnett’s reputation - wit-fledged observations, cutting rock ’n roll - is present, only this time she’s upped the ante big time. Think the previous releases were impressive? Wait until you hear this.
