Courtney Barnett
Avant Gardner
2013
From album The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas (in U.S.)
Our glorious introduction to one of the best artists to emerge in the 2010s. A story song about an allergy attack sending the narrator to the hospital, Avant Gardner shows off Courtney’s talent for creating pictures through the precise details she gives us in her songs, and it’s got a tune you can hum album with too!
