COURTNEY BARNETT wins Best Rock Album at 2018 ARIA Awards

by the partae November 29, 2018
written by the partae
Courtney Barnett last night made history when she became the first ever solo female artist to win theBest Rock Album category at the ARIA Awards. Barnett’s achievement was all the more significant given the fact that she released her album independently through her own label Milk! Records – she’s just the second fully independent artist to win the award.

The award is deserved recognition for Barnett whose second album Tell Me How You Really Feel lived up to near-impossibly high expectations and has seen her touring globally to packed houses for much of the year. Recognition at home for an artist who has become truly global.

Barnett and her band (featuring Dave Mudie, Bones Sloane and Katie Harkin) also ignited the The Star Event Centre with a fierce performance of ‘Charity’.

This summer will see Courtney Barnett and her band bring their scorching live show back home to festival stages across the country. They’ll be headlining Fairgrounds Festival this weekend and continuing in early 2019 with Laneway Festival, Mona Foma and Mountain Sounds.

Today it has been announced the band will play two very special shows with Camp Cope in Darwin and Cairns in January 2019. The dream two-show-only line-up of two of Australia’s most powerful live acts should make for some extraordinary performances in the country’s far north.

Listen to the award winning album Tell Me How You Really Feel here.

Courtney Barnett and her album Tell Me How You Really Feel have been nominated for 8 ARIA Awards including Album Of The Year, Best Female Artist, Best Rock Album, Best Independent Release, Best Video and Best Live Act. Courtney was also nominated for Best Adult Contemporary Album for Lotta Sea Lice – her collaborative album with Kurt Vile. Earlier this morning at the Art Gallery Of New South Wales it was revealed that Burke Reid took home the ARIA Award for Best Engineer for his work on the record. This year’s tally of Tell Me How You Really Feel nominations matches the number that she received in 2015 for her debut Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit.

Six weeks ago Courtney Barnett headlined two sensational nights at the Sydney Opera House. While at the iconic World Heritage listed Sydney Opera House, Barnett took the time to record a stunning version of album closer ‘Sunday Roast’ in Bennelong Restaurant, making full use off the building’s incredible acoustics. Directed by Versus, watch the video via the image below.

COURTNEY BARNETT shares new single ‘Small Talk’

by the partae October 5, 2018
written by the partae
Courtney Barnett has completed her headline run of Australian shows and returned to US and European shores to continue her world-dominating tour. Yesterday it was announced that Tell Me How You Really Feel has been nominated for two ARIA Artisan Awards – Engineer Of The Year (Burke Reid) andProducer Of The Year (Courtney Barnett, Dan Luscombe & Burke Reid).

Meanwhile, fans have been treated to a surprise new song from the revered songwriter. ‘Small Talk’ is a unheard and unreleased track from the sessions which gave birth to Tell Me How You Really Feel. Courtney Barnett has returned to U.S. shores, playing her biggest and most historic shows to date. Today fans are treated to a brand new song from the revered songwriter. ‘Small Talk’ is an unheard and unreleased track from the sessions which gave birth to her critically acclaimed second album, Tell Me How You Really Feel. The song itself shows Courtney’s stylistic versatility as she winsomely sings over a walking bass-line before launching into joyful a series of ramshackle jams and choruses. It’s a song as skilfully infectious and charming as she’s ever recorded.

Australian fans will be treated to incredible live show over the summer with the recent announcement her inclusion on Mountain Sounds Festival as well as Laneway Festival, Fairgrounds and QueenscliffMusic Festival.

COURTNEY BARNETT Releases 10 Live Videos + AUS Tour Starts Today!

by the partae August 17, 2018
written by the partae
Ahead of her long-awaited Australian Tour beginning, Courtney Barnett today releases a series of 10 stunning live videos.

Shot in the scorching heat of the Southern American summer in conjunction with Apple Music, Barnettand her band (Bones Sloane, Katie Harkin and Dave Mudie) played through the entirety of their acclaimed album Tell Me How You Really Feel in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park. Each song on the album gets the full cinematic treatment directed by rising US film-maker Claire-Marie Vogel (Julia Holter, Mutemath, Metallica, Margaret Glaspy) and mixed by Australia’s Cal Barter. 

This is the first time these videos have been made available for wide-spread viewing.

Barnett and her band will begin their Australian tour today in Adelaide and tomorrow in Perth before a show at Brisbane’s Tivoli theatre, two shows at the Sydney Opera House and a massive home-coming show at Melbourne’s Festival Hall. The band recently completed multiple tours of the USA and Europe which included sold-out shows in iconic venues like Brooklyn’s Prospect Park and London’s Roundhouse, as well as career-defining sets at London’s All Points East Festival (with Nick Cave, St. Vincent and Patti Smith), Chicago’s Pitchfork Festival and Newport Folk Festival.

Earlier this week, she also shared a live version of album favourite ‘Charity‘ and a cover of Elyse Weinberg’s ‘Houses‘. Recorded during a Spotify Singles Session in NYC in May, the two tracks find Courtney in brilliant form; razor sharp and rocking out on the live studio recording of ‘Charity’, and poignant and sublime on ‘Houses‘.

The session is available to stream in full on Spotify now, but the tracks will also be available as a gorgeous red vinyl 7” single via Milk! Records. As usual, it is another stunning addition to what is already becoming a canonical body of work for Courtney Barnett. Pre-order here: https://courtney-barnett.lnk.to/SpotifyRedVinyl

Barnett’s hotly anticipated new album Tell Me How You Really Feel has lived up to impossibly high expectations, debuting at #2 on the Australian Charts, hitting the UK’s Official Charts Top 10, topping multiple US charts and drawing an endless stream of superlatives from critics around the world.

COURTNEY BARNETT shares new track ‘Sunday Roast’ + album out next Friday!

by the partae May 11, 2018
written by the partae

Today Courtney Barnett shares ‘Sunday Roast’, the fourth taste from her highly anticipated and already acclaimed album Tell Me How You Really Feel which is released next Friday.

‘Sunday Roast’ (which was given a very special limited release on 12” alongside ‘City Looks Pretty’ to celebrate Record Store Day last month) follows on from the focused fury of ‘Nameless, Faceless’, the gorgeously contemplative ‘Need a Little Time’, and most recently the propulsive guitar mastery of the aforementioned ‘City Looks Pretty’.  ‘Sunday Roast’ is the beautiful album closer, an ode to friendship and simple pleasures, the perfect conclusion to a rich and complex record.

Stream Sunday Roast Here

Barnett is currently in the middle of a series of sold out USA and European album-launch shows and will return home in August to play the largest Australia and New Zealand shows of her career. Full tour dates and ticketing below.

Tell Me How You Really Feel will be released on May 18th through Barnett’s own label Milk! Recordsand Remote Control Records.

COURTNEY BARNETT shares new single + video ‘Need A Little Time’

by the partae March 16, 2018
written by the partae

New single & video ‘Need A Little Time’
Tell Me How You Really Feel released Friday 18 May
via Milk! Records & Remote Control Records

Courtney Barnett today releases ‘Need A Little Time’, the sublime second single from her highly anticipated album Tell Me How You Really Feel. ‘Need A Little Time’ is surely one of the most plaintively beautiful songs that Barnett has written, majestic in structure, performance and dynamic range.

The infectious punk-rock of first single ‘Nameless, Faceless’ can now be considered a shot across the bow. It simmered with indignation and rage in what was Barnett’s most explicitly political song to date, but it only delivered a hint at what might be delivered on Barnett’s sophomore full length.

‘Need A Little Time’ is a statement of a different sort. Its extraordinary beauty lies in the rarely-heard tenderness and vulnerability in Barnett’s singing voice, which grows in strength each verse until the point it seems to take flight, becoming weightless as it floats over each euphoric chorus.

Once again, Barnett proves herself a lyricist of the highest order. Every poetic line seems to extol the need for space in personal relationships but can so easily be extrapolated into broader metaphors with gems like “Everybody wants to have their say, forever waiting for some car crash, I need a little time out”  and “Shave your head to see how it feels, Emotionally it’s not that different, but to the hand it’s beautiful”.

‘Need A Little Time’ is accompanied by a wondrous video by Barnett’s frequent visual collaborator Danny Cohen. Cohen says “Need A Little Time has this soaring, floating feeling to it. I decided to play on the meaning of the song, Courtney needs some time away from herself (and you). I didn’t want to show Courtney leaving her friends/family/fans etc, it needed to be more metaphorical. Courtney floats through space and time, ends up in some isolated part of the universe. She finally has found some time alone,  just Courtney and her guitar, singing in space without a care in the world.

The release of Tell Me How You Really Feel will also be followed by a string of worldwide live dates.

Tell Me How You Really Feel will be released on May 18th through Remote Control Records and Barnett’s own label Milk! Records.

COURTNEY BARNETT announces Tell Me How You Really Feel + shares ‘Nameless, Faceless’

by the partae February 20, 2018
written by the partae

After a week in which she dropped a mysterious album teaser online and indie record stores worldwide unexpectedly received vinyl copies of a previously unheard song, Courtney Barnett today announced details of her second studio album Tell Me How You Really Feel, and shared its scathing lead single‘Nameless, Faceless’.

Observers would be aware that over the course of just a few years Barnett has become internationally renowned for her distinctive and acclaimed musical lexicon. Her seemingly effortless ability to flip an intensely private sentiment on its head and make it sound universal and relatable won her fans around the world. Her debut album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit saw her top year-end lists and sell out shows to rabid audiences on five continents. She played the most iconic and revered festival stages, won the Australian Music Prize, J Award for Album Of the Year, APRA’s Songwriter Of the Year and four ARIAs. The album was even nominated for a Grammy and a BRIT Award.

So… how do you follow that up?

In Tell Me How You Really Feel Barnett has revealed an exhilarating and unexpected shift. From its title (A question? An order?) to the unsettling cover image – a blood-red tinted self-portrait in uncomfortably tight close up – Barnett sets a new tone. There’s a new-found directness with this record, a muscularity to the instrumentation, a tenderness in her voice and a boldness to the lyrics which speaks to Barnettentering a remarkable new phase of her musical evolution. She’s saying more, with less. Whereas once she examined the world through the prism of self-analysis, Tell Me How You Really Feel shifts that focus to those she interacts with – the good ones, the bad ones, the loved ones. Those she knows intimately and those who are strangers.

First single ‘Nameless, Faceless’ is an infectious punk rock anthem simmering with indignation and sarcasm as it examines the phenomenon of anonymous internet trolls. Through song, Barnett is using the medium she knows best to return fire.

Every lyric is memorable as Barnett quotes one of the more creative burns she’s received in a comments section, “I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and spit out better words than you” It would be pure comedy if it didn’t invariably and insidiously cross over into anxiety about ones safety in the real world… illustrated perfectly by the chorus which borrows from a famous Margaret Atwood quote “I want to walk through the park in the dark / Men are scared that women will laugh at them / I want to walk through the park in the dark / Women are scared that men will kill them / I hold my keys between my fingers”. 

Watch the video for ‘Nameless, Faceless’ via the image below.

Tell Me How You Really Feel will be released on May 18th through Barnett’s own label Milk! Records and Remote Control.

COURTNEY BARNETT Shares “How To Boil An Egg”

by the partae May 17, 2017
written by the partae

Track features on Milk! Records Split Singles Club

Available to download & stream from May 16th

Typically infectious, barnstorming and deadpan “How To Boil An Egg” is a standalone brand new track from the critically lauded singer songwriter Courtney Barnett. It was recorded as a contribution to an exciting collaboration between two of Australia’s leading independent labels, Milk! Records (the label which she founded with partner Jen Cloher) and Bedroom Suck.
How To Boil An Egg is the result of studio experimentations where Barnett played every instrument herself, and is a reworked version of one of the first songs she ever wrote. In her own words:
“I used to perform this song at all the open-mics when i was 21. It never got recorded, so for personal-posterity I updated it and made this version recently when I was bunkered up in the bush doin some demos for my next album. In tradition of the Milk! Records compilation releases, like “Pickles From The Jar” or “Three Packs A Day”, i wanted to include a song of mine for Split Singles Club that was a tad left of album-centre. it’s a songwriting experiment that doesn’t really belong anywhere else.”
Designed to offer a fascinating insight into the tight knit community of Australia’s compulsive collaborators, this Singles Club union features hand-picked artists from the scene.
“How To Boil An Egg” will be available on digital and streaming services and as an exclusive physical release on Milk! Records and Bedroom Suck’s Split Singles Club. There are still a limited number of vinyl subscriptions available at www.splitsingles.club
