Our Take

Courtney Barnett's "Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas" is a whimsical rollercoaster through the mind of one of Australia's most beloved indie rock songwriters. Barnett's deadpan delivery and clever lyrics paint a vivid picture of everyday moments and emotions, from the mundane to the profound.

The first half of the EP, featuring tracks like "Avant Gardener" and "History Eraser," showcases Barnett's sharp wit and penchant for storytelling. Her stream-of-consciousness style creates a sense of intimacy with the listener, as if you're eavesdropping on her innermost thoughts.

The second half takes a more introspective turn, with tracks like "David" and "Are You Looking After Yourself?" delving into themes of self-doubt and vulnerability. Barnett's raw honesty is both refreshing and relatable, making her music feel like a comforting hug from a friend.

Musically, Barnett's jangly guitar riffs and laid-back melodies provide the perfect backdrop for her observational lyrics. The lo-fi production adds to the album's DIY charm, giving it a warm, nostalgic feel that harkens back to the heyday of '90s indie rock.

Overall, "Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas" is a delightful listen that showcases Barnett's unique talent and charm. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to her music, this EP is sure to leave you with a smile on your face and a catchy tune stuck in your head.

About the artist

Courtney Barnett

Courtney Barnett is the Aussie indie rocker we all wish we could be. With her deadpan vocals and razor-sharp lyrics, Barnett has been hailed as the voice of a generation - if that generation happens to be one that loves sarcasm and witty wordplay. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Barnett burst onto the scene in 2012 with her debut EP "I've Got a Friend Called Emily Ferris," showcasing her unique blend of indie rock and folk sensibilities. Since then, Barnett has released two critically acclaimed albums - 2015's "Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit" and 2018's "Tell Me How You Really Feel." Both albums received widespread praise for Barnett's knack for storytelling and her ability to capture the mundane moments of everyday life in a way that feels refreshingly honest. With her distinct guitar style and laid-back attitude, Barnett has become a darling of the indie music scene, winning over fans and critics alike with her sardonic wit and infectious charm. Whether she's singing about house hunting, existential crises, or the trials and tribulations of modern life, Barnett's lyrics are always sharp, insightful, and delivered with an endearing lack of pretension. In a music landscape dominated by glossy pop stars and manufactured personas, Barnett stands out as a breath of fresh air - a down-to-earth artist who speaks her truth and never takes herself too seriously. With her dry wit and raw vulnerability, Courtney Barnett is a force to be reckoned with in the world of indie rock - and we can't wait to see what she does next.
