Today's review is
Courtney Barnett's
Sometimes I sit and think, sometimes I just sit (2015) (Indie Rock, Singer/Songwriter)
I think Violet repped this awhile back. As far as repping goes, Violet is 0-1. So here's his chance to redeem himself. I'm not usually big on Indie rock, but let's see shall we.
Elevator Operator: Interesting start. Cool song. Not sure how I feel about it.
Pedestrian at Best: Very similar to the last song. Some real interesting lyrical concepts going on, but nothing to blow my mind.
An Illustration of Loneliness (Sleepless in New York): Cool, I like this a lot more then the last track.
Small Poppies: I like the bluesy start to this track. I really like this song so far. It's got some really cool elements thrown in here.
Depreston: You know, I really like her voice. Nice guitar solo.
So far these song are pretty good. Have lots of personality. Nothing revolutionary but still good.
Aqua Profunda: Starts with bit of a alternative feel. Pretty good song.
Dead Fox: I'm digging this song.
Nobody Really Cares If You Don't Go to the Party: Well, that song title hits home... Way too upbeat music for that title. "I wanna go out but I wanna stay home." You and me both sister.
Debbie Downer: I dig this.
Kim's Caravan: Interesting intro. This is weird... I like it. I really like this song. The slow build, as it slowly comes together with a pretty damn good pay off.
Boxing Day Blues: Starts with an acoustic guitar. Vocals come in to create a very sad song. I dig.
Final thoughts - Pretty good album. Has a personality that I enjoy, doesn't stay the same, but really offers up nothing different. Which isn't a bad thing frankly.
