More than four years since her last Australian tour, Courtney makes her homecoming in the wake of extensive UK and North American dates. Known for a performance that’s part intimate storytelling, part indie rock, with bursts of raw grunge-like energy, Courtney Barnett live is genuine and authentic. A signature blend of moody guitar, witty, anecdotal lyrics and her laconic talk-singing have cemented her as “one of the most distinctive voices in indie music” (The Mancunion).
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 internalising those feelings, she decided to bring all this swirling confusion directly into the recording process. With singles ‘Stay in Your Lane’, and ‘Site Unseen (feat. Waxahatchee)’ setting the tone, the album marks a decisive new chapter in Courtney Barnett’s musical evolution.
Courtney took to the stage at Manchester’s Radio 6 Music Festival last month, launching Creature of Habit to widespread acclaim. She also delivered a powerful live rendition of ‘Mantis’ for US television’s CBS Mornings’ Saturday Sessions.
With Creature of Habit, Courtney Barnett reaffirms her place as one of the most compelling voices in modern rock; unafraid to confront uncertainty, embrace vulnerability, and transform it into something deeply human and electrifying.
Courtney will bring her new record and extensive catalogue to life with performances in some of Australia’s premiere venues this November, transforming each track into a dynamic, shared experience that resonates long after the final note.
