Courtney Barnett announces new album 'Creature of Habit'

Musician Courtney Barnett is back with a brand new record. Creature of Habit, out March 27 via Mom+Pop Music, is the follow-up to 2021's Things Take Time, Take Time.

With the news comes brand new single, "Site Unseen", featuring Waxahatchee. It's set to a Juliana and Nicola Giraffe-directed visualizer. Watch and listen below:

Barnett says of the song:

"I tried 3 separate times over 2 years to track this song, and each time it either wasn’t finished or didn’t sound right and each time we had to start again. I kept hearing this really high harmony in my head, so for the fourth and final version, I asked Katie if she’d be into singing it with me. I’m a big Waxahatchee fan. I really love Katie’s songwriting and her voice, so it was an honour to have her sing on 'Site Unseen'."

The album also features previously-shared single "Stay in Your Lane".

Barnett will also be going out on an expansive US tour. Find the dates down below.
