Creature of Habit is a bold, emotionally resonant record that explores the central question: how to get out of your own way so you can truly feel your life. Written in the wake of a relocation from Australia to Los Angeles and the closure of her long-running label Milk! Records, Barnett was grappling with changes that put the future of both her life and career in question. Rather than internalizing those feelings, she decided to bring all this swirling confusion directly into the recording process. Listen to the brand new project HERE.
With previous singles “Stay in Your Lane,” “Site Unseen (feat. Waxahatchee),” “Mantis,” “Sugar Plum,” and album focus track “One Thing at a Time,” setting the tone, along with music and production cameos from Flea, Floating Points, John Congleton (Death Cab For Cutie, Sharon Van Etten), Marta Salogni (Bjork, Black Midi, Gorillaz) and Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint), the album marks a decisive new chapter in Courtney Barnett’s musical evolution.
"This album is all about change,” Barnett shares on the project. “It’s in the lyrics, it's in the ideas, I can't avoid it. It’s about embracing change, but also grieving the things that have changed – the chaos and confusion of all of those feelings.”

ABOUT COURTNEY BARNETT
In the hands of Courtney Barnett, fragments of everyday life become rich and riveting. A deft lyricist and virtuosic guitarist with inimitable musicianship, Barnett first found critical acclaim with 2013’s The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas and broke into the mainstream in 2015 with her debut album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit. Garnering a coveted Best New Artist Grammy nomination and numerous other accolades, including Saturday Night Live, the album stands as a generational classic. Barnett followed her debut with 2017’s Lotta Sea Lice, an acclaimed collaborative record with Kurt Vile, and eschewed the vignettes of her early records on 2018’s Tell Me How You Really Feel, her humid, political sophomore record, which featured the Margaret Atwood-invoking single “Nameless, Faceless”. In 2021, she released Things Take Time, Take Time, a remarkable artistic step forward.
