Straightforward and unpolished, just terrific!

A debut album is the present work not just because the previously published by Courtney Barnett "Double EP: A Sea of ​​Split Peas" has had 11 excellent songs and Courtney makes this style more ansatzlos. Their music is straightforward and very direct. The sound is strong and driven rhythm guitar-heavy, which is especially live comes across very well. As it leaves the Courtney Barnett and her band of explosive fun, I assure from experience.

Your singing style resembles partly a monotonous chant and develops an almost hypnotic effect. The lyrics usually consist of Courtney's everyday observations and some fall out very hearty. It can be found among them so amusing passages such as "Give me all your money and I'll make some origami, honey" in the song "Pedestrian at Best". Yes, Courtney is a totally independent woman and needed the money the men only to it to tinker paper airplane, simply delicious! Ever this piece is absolutely amazing. So much power an entire song long I have seldom heard.

Another highlight is the quieter pieces Depreston with a worth listening text about the dismal-looking uptown a California town called Preston (Preston depressing = Depreston). In "Dead Fox" is about the environment, the poison in the daily diet, road etc. Your winking Conclusion: as more people die on the road than in the sea, you should actually put the car in cages and not sharks. This Barnett'sche logic has what for themselves!

Very successful is the composition of the album rather quieter pieces, such as the lovely "On Illustration of Loneliness", or "Boxing Day Blues" and groovy smashers such as "Nobody Really Cares If You Do not Go to the party". The latter is a hymn to the indecision: "I wanna go out but I wanna stay home". Yes what now?

Conclusion: a Courtney Barnett does the music business really well. You can especially one, and that is to make listenable music in text and sound, and with a high authenticity factor.
