Caramel coloured vinyl LP

Courtney Barnett presents her fourth studio album. Released via Fiction
Records, ‘Creature Of Habit’ follows the release of single ‘Stay In Your Lane’
(A-Listed at BBC Radio 6 Music and performed on The Tonight Show
Starring Jimmy Fallon). Barnett will also embark on a North American tour
supporting ‘Creature Of Habit’, set to kick off in May.
‘Creature Of Habit’ marks a decisive new chapter in Courtney Barnett’s
musical evolution. It’s 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.
In the hands of Courtney Barnett, fragments of everyday life become rich and
riveting. A deft lyricist and virtuosic guitarist, she is an emblem of millennial
wit and one of Australia’s most successful musical exports.
Based for much of her adult life in Melbourne, Barnett first found critical
acclaim with 2013’s ‘The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas’ and broke into the
mainstream in 2015 with her debut album, ‘Sometimes I Sit and Think, and
Sometimes I Just Sit’. Garnering a coveted Best New Artist GRAMMY
nomination and numerous other accolades, the album stands as a
generational classic. Barnett followed her debut with 2017’s ‘Lotta Sea Lice’,
an acclaimed collaborative record with Kurt Vile, and eschewed the vignettes
of her early records on 2018’s ‘Tell Me How You Really Feel’, her humid,
political sophomore record, which featured the Margaret Atwood-invoking
single ‘Nameless, Faceless’. In 2021, she released ‘Things Take Time, Take
Time’, a remarkable artistic step forward.
