Courtney Barnett announced 2023 Fall tour Dates in the U.S. The trek will come in support of a new instrumental album, End Of The Day, due out on September 8 as the last album on Barnett’s Milk! Records label and arrives in conjunction with Mom + Pop.
End Of The Day follows Barnett’s 2021 album Things Take Time, Take Time. The new record consists of 17 instrumental compositions created with producer/collaborator Stella Mozgawa that also serve as the soundtrack to the Barnett-centric documentary Anonymous Club, directed by Danny Cohen.
“End Of The Day is a meditative, slow-burning and beautiful record, prioritizing atmosphere, tone and texture over traditional song structures and melodic hooks,” as per a press release for the new LP. “It’s a fearless and stunning turn for an artist who built her formidable reputation through profound lyricism and riff-based fireworks.”
Barnett previewed End Of The Day with three tracks — “Start Somewhere,” “Life Balance” and “First Slow” — that arrived with a Claire Marie Vogel-directed visual accompaniment. Watch below:
