Nameless faceless5/27/2023 ![]() Lyrically, Barnett cleverly addresses misogyny and online hatred as casually but confidently as Sometimes I Sit and Think’s “Dead Fox” and “Kim’s Caravan” attacked big business and environmental destruction, respectively. The track features jarring yet well-executed sonic contrasts, with verses reminiscent of jangle pop and a chorus that is all grunge. “Nameless, Faceless” is classic Courtney Barnett. Now ready to tackle those fears head on, her second full length solo project, Tell Me How You Really Feel, will be released May 18th on Mom+Pop, Marathon Artists, and Barnett’s own Milk! Records. In tandem with this announcement, first single “Nameless, Faceless,” as well as an accompanying music video, were put out ahead of the upcoming album. ![]() This past October’s Kurt Vile collab album Lotta Sea Lice saw the further development of this knack, and quietly allowed Barnett to temporarily side step the anxieties of following up Sometimes I Sit and Think’s success. ![]() Her previous work resonates with a sort of comfortable honesty, regardless of the first-glance mundanity of the everyday occurrences she so often addresses. Native to Melbourne and on the rapid rise to fame since the 2015 release of her debut LP Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, Barnett has made a name for herself through witty, avant-garde lyricism and garagey guitar riffs. Subtlety has never been Courtney Barnett’s thing. (“Nameless, Faceless” music video still, from Youtube)
