Barnett recently described the emotional upheaval behind her debut album ‘Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit’ which was released last month. The LP is technically Barnett’s first album. However, two of her EPs (‘I’ve Got A Friend Called Emily Ferris’ and ‘How To Carve A Carrot Into A Rose’) were put out together as ‘The Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas’ in 2014. Speaking to NME, the Australian singer-songwriter spoke about her album and how it reflected the last year of her life.

She said: “The album is a general overview of essentially a year of emotions – 12 months of fucking every day day, up, down, up, down. I dunno what a normal person has, but everyday I had a midlife crisis.”

Commenting on the fact she thought people would hate 2013 single ‘Avant Gardener’ Barnett added: “You can’t assume anything, so don’t bother… You shouldn’t know how to write a song! It’s like when people talk about writing songs for ads, that will get things for syncs, and they talk about freedom and summer and being yourself; it’s like fuck tha-at! Only idiots connect with that kinda stuff. People wanna hear about real – well, people that I want to listen to my music, they should wanna listen to real stuff.”

Courtney Barnett recently appeared on US TV to perform her track ‘Depreston’ on Ellen – watch the live performance here.
