Our Take

Courtney Barnett's "Sometimes I Sit And Think / And Sometimes I Just Sit" Special Edition is like a delightful whirlwind of introspection and wry observations wrapped in crunchy guitar riffs and deadpan delivery.

From the get-go, Barnett's witty lyrics and effortless charm draw you in like a siren on a sea of indie rock clichés. The album opens with the infectious "Elevator Operator," a tune that's as catchy as it is poignant, showcasing Barnett's knack for storytelling and knack for crafting earworm melodies.

Tracks like "Pedestrian At Best" and "Depreston" continue to showcase Barnett's lyrical prowess, tackling topics like anxiety, suburban life, and the struggles of modern day existence with a mix of humour and vulnerability.

The special edition of the album includes bonus tracks like "Three Packs A Day" and "Good For Nothing," adding even more depth and variety to an already stellar collection of songs.

With its blend of infectious hooks, clever wordplay, and laid-back charm, "Sometimes I Sit And Think / And Sometimes I Just Sit" special edition is a must-have for any music lover looking for an album that's equal parts catchy and thought-provoking. Courtney Barnett continues to solidify her status as one of the most exciting voices in indie rock today.

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.
