dylanesque

I cannot begin to describe the disdain I have for this sort of music. To be honest, if I focus really hard on the instruments, shut out the vocals and pretend that they were being sung by someone tolerable and with lyrics that aren’t embarrassing, I can potentially see why this isn’t bad. But the truth is that she is there, she is awful, she is unbearably moronic and she does ruin any little bits of skill that the drums or guitars bring in. After one of my friends declared Barnett his “new waifu” I decided to check this out, and after confronting him about this absolute nonsense, he made a comment along the likes of only enjoying it to impress girls at parties. This album is exactly the sort of think that those teenage girls who listen to “indie” as an image or a statement would lap up. They’ll talk about the bad vocals as “dylan-esque”, and will break into singing quotes from the frankly embarrassing lyrics whenever they can, because they’re SO ME XD, snapping up lines like “I want to wash out my head with turpentine cyanide” as if they’re extremely meaningful poetry. And jesus, I haven’t even mentioned the accent. If there was ever a convincing case for a nuke heading right to the middle of Australia’s eastern coast, this is it. An album filled with nonsense psuedo-meaningful ‘indie’ lyricism, complete with an image you’d expect one of those Sundance films advertised as indie (but actually aren’t), mostly forgettable instrumentation and songwriting, and one of the worst voices you’ve ever heard. Is there anything worse?

it's funny how many of you guys are actually like the autistic source of this pasta
if anything (e.g. Pinkerton) has playful lyrics, maybe that mock children, you completely panic about how "bad" they are

>>61116422
cringe lyrics over really basic rock music. had a couple of OK moments but its mostly garbage

>>61116605
classic pasta

>>61116639
/mu/ loves Pinkerton though

>>61116876
which is funny because Weezer sucks and Courtney Barnett doesn't.

thankfully the amerifats are stuck with her now

time to deport that cow to koalaland

Courtney Barnett is the Rebel Wilson of music

I really like it tbqh family

I think it's very interesting in its dullness.
The lyrics are about very everyday situations, and the backing music is also very ordinary.
It's only interesting because it reflects most peoples everyday experience better than a lot of modern music.

DUDE MELBOURNE LMAO

>>61116422
Nothing bad about it.

Oh hey you just described every pop country song

Ticks every mark on the list for "shitty acoustic indie album": poorly-drawn album art, annoying singer, pretentiously-empty lyricism, vapid instrumentation, and an undeservedly-high score from a renowned music-reviewing site.

I don't think you'd find the lyrics
>I stare at the lawn, it's Wednesday morning
It needs a cut but I leave it growing
All different sizes and all shades of green
Slashing it down just seems kind of mean
in a pop country song

It's not even an interesting observation, it doesn't tell a story, it's just a mundane thought among many others. Sure you can read into it, but at face value it's just incredibly dull.

>>61116422
I fucking hate how indie people have to be lol so random to market themselves now

>>61117604
i dont enjoy the album, but saying that art isnt good because it treats mundane stuff is the epitome of pleb

>>61117795
That's what I'm saying, it's interesting BECAUSE of its dullness

>>61117518
I'm Australian and I fucking hate her.

>>61116896
>>>/hell/

>good songwriting
>even better lyrics
>amazing delivery

it's a great album. i remember when /mu/ enjoyed things that were fun and catchy. you guys are worse than nigger-pandering p4k at this point.

>muh avant garde

fuck your shit. most of the records you praise each year will not be remembered. talk to me when your dry dick finally gets sucked for listening to bands no one cares about
