Courtney Barnett teases new “soft folk songs” on the way
Courtney Barnett has hinted at a quieter sound in forthcoming material in an interview with Australian radio station Double J today (July 17).Speaking to Double J presenter Zan Rowe, the ‘Avant Gardener’ singer spoke about creating new music on the road and how her new songs have “a distinctly different feel”.“I’ve been working on these songs since the last album came out, I guess,” Barnett said.“A lot of them are these soft, folk songs that are written in hotel rooms. You can tell, they’re timid and quiet.”As Victoria continues to follow lockdown restrictions amid the COVID-19 crisis, the Melbourne-based Barnett added how she was keeping creative from home in lieu of being able to tour.
