The Melbourne singer songwriter has unveiled a video for Avant Gardener taken from her debut LP, The Double E.P: A Sea Of Split Peas.

Having spent the last few years perfecting her sound, a combination of folk, country and psychedelic, and is now ready to show it to the world when the album drops later this month. The album is made up of both new and old songs, with the first six tracks brand new whilst the last six are taken from her debut E.P, I’ve Got A Friend Called Emily Ferris. The album on the whole covers many different genres and tells many different stories, allowing for an album full of gifts for all who listen. Anonymous Club shows Barnett at her most romantic, with her bold, strong voice going through the motions of a night with a loved one, and one where you can really sense the lyrics mean something to her.

It’s one of the main attractions about Barnett, the fact she wears her heart on her sleeve and puts her emotions into words. They’re emotive and clever, and shows a wiseness about her that defies her 25 years. Avant Gardener shows this, telling the story of how a simple bit of gardening leads to a panic attack. It might sound crazy, but listening to the lyrics (and the Pulp Fiction reference) reveals the story, and leaves you reaching for the repeat button. The video is a little bonkers, with a seemingly peaceful tennis match ending up in a brawl after the line judge, buried in his book, misses a tight call. You want to watch this now, so you can below.

The Double E.P: A Sea Of Split Peas is released on 15th of October, and you can stream the album in full at the link below. Courtney Barnett will be making her UK debut this month as well, so be sure to catch her at one of her London dates below.
