Courtney Barnett has unveiled a new track titled 'Pickles in the Jar'. It's really good - check it out below.
The track is to be featured on the upcoming Milk! Recordings compilation, Barnett's own label. The upbeat pop-rock song is one of the first new tracks released since the singer's 2013 double EP titled A Sea of Split Peas, and album How to Carve a Carrot into a Rose. We're guessing the running food theme is intentional.
Featuring Barnett's Barnett's knack of blending brilliant wordplay with infectious grunge-folk, it's another clear marker of why she deserves to be as huge as she's about to become.
You can stream the track below:
Speaking to Gigwise about what to expect from her new album, due for release in the Autumn, Barnett said: "It's definitely more focussed than the two EPs because they were never supposed to be put together when I wrote them, but I still feel like it's more of a collection of songs and ideas that are really focussed as an album.
"I've never really thought about that much but now I keep thinking of very thematic ideas and stuff like that but I think it's really a collection of the last year of so and a brief picture about what I've been thinking about. Travelling, general life, dealing with stuff like work, friends and relationships. Nothing too crazy.
She added: "It feels like my third release, which it is. I guess I made a song and dance about the first thing not being an album to everyone else made a really big deal about not calling it that and now the next album feels like it has all this 'debut' stuff attached to but it's the third thing I've put a whole bunch of work into. I don't really care what it's called."
