Review

Courtney Barnett's debut album, "Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit," released in 2015, offers a delightful and witty spin on indie rock. The album thrives on Barnett's clever lyrics and an effortlessly grunge-inspired sound that transports you straight back to the 1990s. Her songs humorously dissect everyday moments, infusing them with introspection and charm. It’s all about those distorted guitars and the kind of carefree vibe you’d expect from garage rock’s finest eras.

Tracks like "Pedestrian at Best," "Depreston," and "Kim’s Caravan" truly highlight Barnett’s storytelling prowess and her gift for creating stick-in-your-head melodies. Her conversational delivery, often slipping into melody mid-line, perfectly complements the album's relaxed atmosphere. The production deserves a shout-out too, as it’s clear and balanced, making sure every instrument gets its moment in the spotlight. "Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit" stands out as a captivating debut, celebrating Courtney Barnett's distinctive voice and laid-back style. - Zara
