Courtney Barnett – SXSW Music 2015 Spotlight

The last two years have been non-stop for Courtney Barnett, and it looks like 2015 will be no different, with a debut album on the way and plans to perform at the SXSW Music Festival next March.

Kicking things off in 2012 with the E.P. on her label Milk! Records, I’ve Got a Friend Called Emily Ferris and then How To Carve A Carrot into A Rose in 2013, Barnett made her way from her home town of Melbourne to tour from country to country and through the festival circuit. Combining the two E.P.s to release The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas, Courtney Barnett’s got a knack for lazy melodies that pull you in closer for more, crafting metaphors and prose that feel as though they fell from Allen Ginsberg’s bookshelf.

Barnett and her band – Bones Sloane on bass, Dave Mudie on drums, and Dan Luscombe on guitar – has been on the road in the U.S. again returning to CMJ, continues on to the Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin at the beginning of November, and then heads back to Europe. No doubt she’s been introducing songs from the yet-to-be-named debut album to be released on Mom + Pop records.
