About Courtney Barnett
After years toiling away as a guitarist in other-people's bands, Courtney Barnett finally gained the courage to step out as a solo artist less than two years ago. Gathering together a bunch of like minded friends, she recorded a debut EP of rambling garage pop and began life as a front-woman.
That EP 'I've Got A Friend Called Emily Ferris" received glowing reviews in her home country of Australia but that trickle of critical acclaim turned into a river of praise upon the release of her second EP "How To Carve A Carrot Into A Rose".
While the sprawling guitar jams of her band "The Courtney Barnetts" barely hide her remarkable pop sensibility it's Courtney's honesty, wit and unique turn of phrase that set her apart from the rest. Reviews range from calling her "The next queen of Australian rock and roll" to just wanting to be mates with her, "I've only ever met her once but I can tell she's a legend."
2013 has seen Courtney release a bunch of killer singles such as the free associating 'History Eraser' (praised by The Guardian as "a perfect summary of the earnest freewheelin' and rambling wit that makes music from this end of the world just so great.") and the anaphylactic balladry of 'Avant Gardener'. With a second EP complete (produced by The Drones' Dan Luscombe), a debut album around the corner and an increasingly impatient international audience waiting for her to leave her shores, it's an exciting time to be one of Courtney Barnett's friends.
