Aussie singer songwriter Courtney Barnett has been a little quiet of late, assumedly wrapped up in the running of her and her partner Jen Cloher’s label Milk! Records.
Her last single Nobody Really Cares If You Don’t Go To The Party came our way in August of 2015, making it close to two years since we heard a track from our Issue 1 cover girl.
How To Boil An Egg recently appeared on Split Singles Club, a compilation album created by Milk! and Bedroom Suck Records. Barnett has since decided to release the song as a standalone single.
Can’t decide between soft and hard boiled? Courtney Barnett is better than your nan’s egg timer on her new track How To Boil An Egg.
The track is a reworked version of one of the first songs Barnett ever played, born of a secluded bushland studio session.
“I used to perform this song at all the open-mics when I was 21. It never got recorded, so for personal-posterity I updated it and made this version recently when I was bunkered up in the bush doin some demos for my next album. In tradition of the Milk! Records compilation releases, like Pickles From The Jar or Three Packs A Day, I wanted to include a song of mine for Split Singles Club that was a tad left of album-centre. It’s a songwriting experiment that doesn’t really belong anywhere else.”
Admittedly, this isn’t the first time Barnett’s world has crossed over into the world of nutrition.
