Courtney Barnett Announces New Album and Tour, Shares Song With Waxahatchee

Courtney Barnett has announced a new album. The Australian indie-rocker will share Creature of Habit on March 27 via Mom+Pop. The 10-track LP includes last year’s single “Stay in Your Lane” as well as “Site Unseen,” a duet with Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield that’s out today alongside a music video directed by Juliana and Nicola Giraffe. Watch it below.

“I tried 3 separate times over 2 years to track this song, and each time it either wasn’t finished or didn’t sound right and each time we had to start again,” Barnett shared in a press statement. “I kept hearing this really high harmony in my head, so for the fourth and final version, I asked Katie if she’d be into singing it with me. I’m a big Waxahatchee fan. I really love Katie’s songwriting and her voice, so it was an honour to have her sing on ‘Site Unseen.’”

Barnett put out her last proper studio album, Things Take Time, Take Time, in 2021. That same year, she was the subject of the documentary Anonymous Club, which also featured an instrumental soundtrack composed by Barnett and Warpaint drummer Stella Mozgawa. Barnett’s extensive North American tour in support of Creature of Habit will take place in two legs—one in May and the other in August. Scroll down to see all of her upcoming shows.
