In the hands of Courtney Barnett, fragments of everyday life become rich and riveting. A deft lyricist and virtuosic guitarist with inimitable musicianship, Barnett first found critical acclaim with 2013’s The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas and broke into the mainstream in 2015 with her debut album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit. Garnering a coveted Best New Artist Grammy nomination and numerous other accolades, the album stands as a generational classic. Barnett followed her debut with 2017’s Lotta Sea Lice, an acclaimed collaborative record with Kurt Vile, and eschewed the vignettes of her early records on 2018’s Tell Me How You Really Feel, her humid, political sophomore record. In 2021, she released Things Take Time, Take Time, a remarkable artistic step forward. On March 27th, 2026 Courtney will release her 4th studio album, Creature of Habit. Recorded after having shuttered her record label, Milk! Records, and moved to LA, Creature of Habit features ten tracks, including a duet with her once-upon-a-time tour-mate Waxahatchee.

The album is available to preorder here now on limited edition caramel colored vinyl LP (available exclusively at indie record stores), standard black vinyl, and on CD. Due to the special nature of this release, preorders are limited to two (2) per format, per customer / household.
