Courtney Barnett Vinyl Records
An indie singer/songwriter recognized for her loose, gritty power-trio presentation, sharp lyrics, and deadpan conversational delivery, Courtney Barnett emerged in 2012 with the self-released EP I've Got a Friend Called Emily Ferris. It garnered critical praise in her native Australia, and she soon won the positive attention of critics in the U.S., U.K., and elsewhere with the follow-up, 2013's How to Carve a Carrot into a Rose. Her full-length debut, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, proved to be her commercial breakthrough, landing in the U.S. Top 20 and Top Five in Australia and earning nominations from both the Grammys (Best New Artist) and Brit Awards (International Female Solo Artist).
