Last year was a big one for Courtney Barnett: The Australian singer-songwriter rode a cresting wave of buzz around her late-2013 release The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas to American clubs and festivals, winning new fans all the way with clever, quirky tunes like her signature “Avant Gardener.” 2014 was also the year that Barnett got to work on her proper debut LP, recording at a studio near her Melbourne home with her band, the Courtney Barnetts. She says, “The reaction from The Double EP was pretty surreal. I am super-excited about getting this album into the world.”
