Courtney Barnett will tour her debut album ‘Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit‘ throughout the UK in the autumn.
She’ll start at the Forum in London on November 25th and move onto Wolverhampton and Manchester before December opens with a show at the Liverpool O2 Academy. Visits to Glasgow and Bristol then bring the tour to an end.
“Courtney Barnett: millennial,” our album review states. “But also a lachrymose raconteur, a teller of stories which will do something as awkwardly naive as plucking the heartstrings one minute, then rejecting fiercely being objectified in the next.”
“For someone who has the twenty first century’s kitchen sink dramas so affectionately charted in her prose, it’s a little odd that her music is rooted in those fuddy-duddy Gen X bands like Pavement, The Breeders and in places female Brit Poppers such as Elastica.”
