Like Ryley Walker, I first heard of Courtney Barnett on a Best of 2014 list (see there is some use to those pointless exercises). Her double EP, A Sea of Split Peas was on the Paste list at #10.
This track rocks with fuzzed out guitars, great lyrics. Fuck, even the video is awesome. I am infatuated with her and can’t wait to see her at SXSW. My main man, Steven Hyden* tweeted - “Tweeted this before and I’ll tweet it again: The new Courtney Barnett is my fave LP so far in 2015 and it’s sort of not even close.” She’s also from Australia so that will be another opportunity for Jefe and I to quote Crocodile Dundee. Everything is coming up Millhouse this week.
Update – Just heard full album on an advance stream. Wow is all I can say.

*I’ve never met Steven Hyden. I just enjoy his writing and we share the same taste in music.
