Details of Courtney Barnett’s much-anticipated debut album have been announced, with the record to be titled Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit.
The Melbourne-based rambler who found musical fortune with songs like ‘Avant Gardener’ and ‘Pickles From A Jar’, no doubt has a a treasure trove of her idiosyncratic lyrics ready for release, filled with witty, incisive, distinctive and sometimes devastatingly self-deprecating rhymes to make her high school English teacher the proudest in the land.
There will be 11 tracks on Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit:‘Elevator Operator’; ‘Pedestrian At Best’; ‘An Illustration of Loneliness (Sleepless in New York)’; ‘Small Poppies’; ‘Depreston’; ‘Aqua Profunda!’; ‘Dead Fox’; ‘Nobody Really Cares If You Don’t Go to the Party’; ‘Debbie Downer’; ‘Kim’s Caravan’; and ‘Boxing Day Blues’. The second song, ‘Pedestrian At Best’ will be the lead single, which you can watch below:
Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sitwill be released on Friday March 20 through Milk! Records/Remote Control Records.
