Courtney Barnett - Things Take Time, Take Time

If the pandemic was going to benefit any artist, or play to their strengths, then it was always going to be Courtney Barnett.

As her distinctive, languid vocal style is testament to, Barnett takes her time over things. After plying her trade in various projects in the early years of her career, mainly playing guitar or releasing material on her own label, the Australian belatedly released her debut album (its title – Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit – emphatically proving the point) to much acclaim in 2015.

Amidst further side-projects, her second album followed in 2018, but since then a series of issues have bedraggled her, including breaking up from her long-term partner Jen Cloher, the wildfires which tore across her home country in the early part of last year, and the pandemic.

Fortunately, there have been some positives to come out of this turbulent time – namely Things Take Time, Take Time, which finds Barnett taking positivity and solace from the smallest of things.
