Courtney Barnett has announced her new album, *Creature of Habit*, set to release on March 27 through Mom+Pop Music. She also revealed a North American tour starting in May. This album marks a significant step in her musical journey. It’s described as a bold and emotional record that tackles the question of how to overcome personal obstacles to truly experience life.
After moving from Australia to Los Angeles and closing her long-time label, Milk! Records, Barnett faced many changes that made her rethink her future. Instead of keeping those feelings inside, she channeled them into her music.
Today, she released a new single called “Site Unseen,” featuring Waxahatchee, along with a cinematic visualizer. Barnett shared that she struggled to get this song right over two years, trying to record it three times before finally nailing it. She added, “I kept hearing this really high harmony in my head, so for the fourth version, I asked Katie if she’d be into singing it with me. I’m a big Waxahatchee fan, so it was an honor to have her on the track.”
The North American tour kicks off on May 1 in Austin, TX, and will hit cities like Houston, Brooklyn, Nashville, Boston, Detroit, Cleveland, Seattle, and Los Angeles. An artist presale starts on January 21 at 10 a.m. local time, with general tickets available on January 23 at 10 a.m. local time.
