A thread for new artist Courtney Barnett

http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/09/watch-courtney-barnett-covers-the-breeders-cannonball/

both videos are well worth your time i you are a fan

 

Milk! records has a 10" compilation with 5 songs including one from courtney . Looks to be white colored and signed by the artists, limited to 100 copies. It was pretty steep stateside $43 shipped but I pulled the trigger, I don't have many ultra collectible records and she is one of my current favorite artists.

there's a pink vinyl limited to 500 copies of the double ep now in case anyone is late to the party or obsessive like myself. FYI listening now, and there isn't a noticeable drop in SQ from the black version

 

Courtney is among my favorite new artists, a major talent for sure. I have the CD that combines the two eps, really looking forward to her first full album release.

 

Youngest daughter got me into her a few months ago (thanks Jess) i had heard Anonymous Club and was interested
but didn't know who it was . She played the Fly By Night on the 26/9 , my kids mentioned that they were going but
i forgot to ask them how it went .

 

Thought she was from Perth , especially Freo south to Mandurah , when i first heard her .

Double Ep , A Sea of Split Peas is the best Aussie album for a few years , agree that History Eraser
is the best Aussie song for quite some time .

 

pre-order is up for debut "Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit". Deluxe lp is already sold out, im bummed im going to have to try to buy or trade for one secondhand once it comes out. I pre-ordered the lp + tote package last night

I saw her open up for Phosphorescent last year. I didn't even know who she was. But her show was fantastic! It was really easy to get into the actual songs without out ever hearing them before. The audience loved it. And then half of them left after and didn't even stick around for Phosphorescent. LOL Apparently I was the only one there that had not heard of her.

I did not run out and by the EP or anything. But. Of all the opening bands that I have seen over the years that have seemed like a waste of my time she was wonderful to watch. I am interested in the new LP.

 

I was thinking of starting a new thread for "Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit" but figured since it was already mentioned here this was as good a place as any. I just discovered her a few months ago and really love her lyrics and wordplay.

Here is the only single released from the upcoming album to my knowledge for those who haven't heard it:

 

Didn't they only make 100? That'll be a hard/expensive one to get.

 

New single released this week.

 

Local radio is getting behind it in a big way. I heard it on 774 and RRR last night and both DJs were raving.

BTW The video is shot in the Melbourne suburbs of Reservoir and Coburg. The real Preston is too upmarket

 

Just listened through to this on Spotify and it was really solid. My local shop has a bunch of the limited edition orange lps that will go out for sale tomorrow. Will have to swing by and pick it up.

 

ouch my tote bag showed up not the lp! I'm half tempted to buy the indie exclusive since it released a day earlier that usual in the states

 

Nice slacker vibe. Reminds me a bit of Kurt Vile. I like this kind of music.

 

Much more rockin' than I thought it'd be (especially the first two songs), Great album. The hidden track made me jump!!

 

Really really digging this new LP. Picked it up at my local today. Orange vinyl with a free slipmat included. She really has a way with words and it makes me want to pay attention to what she's singing(or sing/talking). She's a clever one. I like this.

 

I pre-ordered this from amazon and it is the orange vinyl fwiw. Does a black vinyl edition even exist? A lot of talk about all the different versions of this album. I wasn't able to play it as I got it just before I had to head to work. Any comments on pressing quality?

Did anyone get the special editions? Looks like there is a 2xLP version in the UK and Australia which seems funny as it is a pretty standard length album, so that's about 10 minutes of music per side. Is it 45rpm?

I listened to the album on youtube already and loved it. There are lots of slowed down .75 speed versions on there which is funny. Can't wait to spin it.

Received best new music and an 8.6 on pitchfork today as well as a 5 star review by the guardian.

 

I had pre-ordered the new one on CD a while back and Amazon just informed me that it has shipped, can't wait to hear it.

 

There's a version of Anonymous Club on a 2010 CD called Naked in the Woods 2

Another early song

I'm loving the whole album but at the moment I am especially digging the slower jams Small Poppies and Kim's Caravan.

 

The new album is awesome! I saw her support Metronomy at Alexandra Palace just before xmas and she was very solid!

 

The download card that came with my LP gets you a 192kbps download... Why do they bother?

 

because anyone not a member here would be happy to have something for their ipod. just because you personally don't want it or think it's good enough doesn't necessarily make it so.

 

192 is very lame in this day even for people not on this forum. Could at least be iTunes 256 quality. I do think this would be a good album to listen in the car which is why I wanted it on my phone. It is easily correctable tho so I will quit griping. Have a good day.
