Barnett, Courtney - Sometimes I Sit Deluxe

New Vinyl Record - Courtney Barnett, Sometimes I Sit, Deluxe Edition

Deluxe double yellow vinyl LP pressing in gatefold sleeve. Includes new artwork, fold out poster, four limited edition Polaroid photos shot by Courtney and download card of "Live at Electric Ballroom in London". Mixing witty, often hilarious, occasionally even heartbreaking observations with devastating self-assessment, Courtney Barnett's debut album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, cements her standing as one of the most distinctive and compelling voices in indie rock. These songs reveal not only an assured songwriter and guitar player, but also an artist who in just a few years has already proved highly influential. Fueled by the nimble crunch of her guitar and the loose groove of the rhythm section, Barnett's songs are wild and shaggy and wordy, her lyrics plainspoken and delivered like she's making them up on the spot. The music is rooted in the slack jangle of the late 1980s and the early 1990s, which has prompted the adjective "slacker" from journalists and critics around the world. That word is fitting for tunes that sound like they only just roused themselves out of bed. As a description of Barnett's work ethic and musical influence, however, "slacker" is all wrong.
