Gratifying Australian songstress/guitarist COURTNEY BARNETT
has her brand new LP, her 4th, titled Creature Of Habit, out.
Press info: “Creature of Habit is a bold, emotionally resonant record that explores the central question: how to get out of your own way so you can truly feel your life. Written in the wake of a relocation from Australia to Los Angeles and the closure of her long-running label Milk! Records, Barnett was grappling with changes that put the future of both her life and career in question. Rather than internalizing those feelings, she decided to bring all this swirling confusion directly into the recording process.”
UNCUT Magazine (British msuci monthly): It’s a document of Barnett’s unsticking, through plain doing. It’s also an instantly engaging record born out of its author’s collaborative curiosity, the deliberate avoidance of any pre-recording plan and a determination to embrace change in whatever form, while staring down the uncomfortable emotions that so often attend it.”
TUTV: Sonically it’s the Barnett we all know for years now, assembling lazy guitar-galvanizing grooves, lazy tunes and lazy reveries with lazy vocals rolling over it, that
initiate lazy foot-and-pelvis moves.
Listening to the Australian songstress feels like having an ear-massage.
Lyrially she continous her soul-searching, as many questions are still
unanwsered. CB charms and entertains, nothing more, nothing else.
That’s fine by me.
