Courtney Barnett with Arushi Jain
Comprised of 17 seamless improvisations which were originally created as part of the score to the documentary 'Anonymous Club', Courtney Barnett's new album, 'End Of The Day' is a meditative, slow-burning and beautiful record, prioritizing atmosphere, tone and texture over traditional song structures and melodic hooks. It's a fearless and stunning turn for an artist who built her formidable reputation through profound lyricism and riff-based fireworks.
These intimate performances will see Barnett perform with collaborator and producer Stella Mozgawa. The first set will see the pair perform instrumental music from the 'End Of The Day' album. The second set will see Barnett select from her catalogue with songs from Things Take Time, Take Time, Tell Me How You Really Feel, Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit and Sea of Split Peas.

Four albums into her career, Courtney Barnett remains one of the most distinctive and compelling voices in indie rock. Her sprawling-but-intense live shows oscillate between intimate folk-balladry to glorious, feed-back heavy jams. Armed with a back-catalogue of gems as well as some of her best and most musically adventurous new work to date, Barnett will bring her thunderous rhythm section back to North America for the first time in almost three years.
Barnett's enigmatic and introverted character is made all the more compelling by the honesty and brutal self-reflection laid bare in her writing. With countless awards in her home of Australia as well as Grammy and BRIT nominations, fawning press and an adoring audience, Barnett's rise to global prominence feels both unprecedented and important. Music fans have rarely witnessed the breathless acclaim and superlatives that comprised reviews of Barnett's debut album "Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Think" - Rolling Stone praised her as "one of the sharpest, most original songwriters around--at any level, in any genre". 2017 saw the release of the wonderful album "Lotta Sea Lice", an introspective but beautiful album of duets with Kurt Vile while we awaited the release of 2018's fierce sophomore solo album "Tell Me How You Really Feel".
