Hear Courtney Barnett play Radio 1 Maida Vale session
Aussie’s debut album is out this week, flying high in the midweeks.
Last night, Courtney Barnett checked into Radio 1 to play a session at their Maida Vale studios.
Alongside an interview with Annie Mac, the Australian songwriter also showcased three tracks from her debut album ‘ Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit’.
Courtney played ‘Pedestrian At Best’, ‘Dead Fox’ and the jetlag-humming ‘An Illustration Of Loneliness’.
The session was recorded on 24th March, and you can listen here from the 1 hour, 10 minute mark.
