Courtney Barnett
'History Eraser'.....
Following the remarkable acclaim surrounding her debut single 'Avant Gardener', Courtney Barnett presents the undeniable cavalcade of 'History Eraser', the second single from her album 'The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas'. A rollicking Dylan-esque anthem of a track, it combines a vivid lyrical stream-of-consciousness delivered in Courtney's now signature sing-speak alongside a killer chant-a-long hook line "In my brain I rearranged the letters on the page to spell your name."
Narrowly losing out to Tame Impala as 'Song of the Year' at Australia's prestigious APRA songwriting awards, 'History Eraser' is another step-up for one of the most talked-about breaking artists around. The new single is also another revealing glimpse into Courtney's world, a hot, hazy place where 'suburban banalities' and 'mindless procrastination' have never sounded so compelling.

The 24-year-old Melbourne-based singer, guitarist and songwriter has created a candid lyrical space for her growing legions of devotees through a series of DIY releases and shows back home to snowballing acclaim, and is now taking things worldwide with her first LP collection, 'The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas', via House Anxiety/Marathon Artists.
The LP collection is a record of two halves, and collates Her Story So Far…It fittingly begins with six brand new songs and is then backed with six older tracks which were originally released in the form of her 2012 debut EP. Together, 'The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas' spans genres and stories, and is unique introduction to an incomparable and exciting new talent.
