Creature of Habit

Cat No: 0484185

Courtney Barnett announces her fourth studio album "Creature Of Habit" on Tue 20th Jan, alongside the release of a new single 'Site Unseen featuring Waxahatchee’. Released via Fiction Records for the World excl. the Americas. 'Site Unseen' follows the release of single 'Stay In Your Lane’ (A-listed at BBC Radio 6Music and performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, available to watch HERE.). Barnett will also embark on a North American tour supporting Creature of Habit, set to kick off in May.

Creature of Habit marks a decisive new chapter in Courtney Barnett’s musical evolution. It’s a bold, emotionally resonant record that explores the central question: how to get out of your own way so you can truly feel your life. 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 internalizing those feelings, she decided to bring all this swirling confusion directly into the recording process.

Artist Bio

In the hands of Courtney Barnett, fragments of everyday life become rich and riveting. A deft lyricist and virtuosic guitarist, she is an emblem of millennial wit and one of Australia’s most successful musical exports.

Based for much of her adult life in Melbourne, Barnett first found critical acclaim with 2013’s The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas, and broke into the mainstream in 2015 with her debut album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit. Garnering a coveted Best New Artist Grammy nomination and numerous other accolades, the album stands as a generational classic. Barnett followed her debut with 2017’s Lotta Sea Lice , an acclaimed collaborative record with Kurt Vile, and eschewed the vignettes of her early records on 2018’s Tell Me How You Really Feel, her humid, political sophomore record, which featured the Margaret Atwood-invoking single “Nameless, Faceless”. In 2021, she released Things Take Time, Take Time, a remarkable artistic step forward.

Barnett is also a powerhouse live act, playing slots at festivals including Coachella, Glastonbury, Bonnaroo, Governor’s Ball, Primavera, and Lollapalooza.
