Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit

Courtney Barnett

Critics and listeners alike have been flipping out over Courtney Barnett’s debut album Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit since it’s release this past March. And for good reason—it’s wonderfully, incredibly, listenable.

Accompanied by simple acoustics and percussion, Barnett’s clear, yet somehow also rough in a just-woke-up kind of way, makes for songs that are sweetly melodic. But there’s power here too, with compelling lyrics. Certainly an artist to watch.
