Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit

Rolling Stone - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Her loose, conversational lyrics are full of images you can't shake and characters you need to know more about. You don't just quote a Courtney Barnett song, you recap it." Spin - "[I]t's just thrilling to hear what she's going to say next: Her songs are page-turners like the best li]erary fiction, even when they're not obviously narrative-based, and they're endlessly quotable like few songs outside of hip-hop have been this decade." Entertainment Weekly - "[T]his isn't just a nostalgia trip. Barnett has established herself as one of pop's most gifted new storytellers. NME (Magazine) - "[S]he's still trying to figure it all out, spooling out stream-of-consciousness thoughts about all of life's mundanities." Paste (magazine) - "She displays a high-verbal dexterity that verges on dazzling..." Clash (Magazine) - "Half of the time Barnett, sounds like she isn't even trying, shrugging out moments of brilliance with ease and nonchalance. Whether she sits and thinks or sits and does nothing, it would appear the results are still golden."

メルボルンのシンガー・ソングライターが放った話題の初作。マイナスな感情を歯に衣着せぬ歌詞にしたため、ガレージ/カントリー・ロックな演奏を連れてラップするように歌っています。とりわけ"Pedestrian At Best"では彼女のヤケクソなパワーが暴発していて、こちらのストレスまで発散できそう。飾り気がなく、逞しい──そんな佇まいから、ボブ・ディランやカート・コバーンをも引き合いに出される脅威の新人です!
