Courtney Barnett, the witty Australian Alt-Rock singer, songwriter and musician, chats in-depth to Matt Everitt to reveal the pivotal moments and songs that shaped her life and career so far.
Known for her deadpan singing style and amusing, insightful lyrics, Courtney attracted attention with the release of her debut EP 'I've Got a Friend Called Emily Ferris' on her own Milk! Records label in 2012. International interest soon followed with the release of her EP The Double EP 'A Sea of Split Peas' in 2013. Her debut album 'Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit' was released in 2015 to widespread acclaim. Lauded at home in Australia, she was also nominated for Best New Artist at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards and International Female Solo Artist at the 2016 Brit Awards. Collaborating with Kurt Vile she released 'Lotta Sea Lice' in 2017, and her second album 'Tell Me How You Really Feel' to further acclaim in 2018.
Much loved by 大象传媒 6 Music listeners with singles such as 'Avant Gardener', 'Kim's Caravan' and 'Nameless, Faceless', the former pizza delivery driver releases her latest single 'Rae Street' from her up-coming third studio album 'Things Take Time, Take Time', which is due for release in November.
Driven to document the undocumented with painstaking, exacting detail, Courtney captures the minutiae and idiosyncrasies of life in all their awkward yet poignant glory with songs that are often acutely personal. Here she opens up to Matt about her musical firsts and influences, while growing up in Sydney, and Hobart in Tasmania.
