Pitchfork In Sight Out: Courtney Barnett

Chicago Athletic Association hotel was pleased to host Pitchfork’s In Sight Out conversation with Courtney Barnett. Listen to the interview with the Australian singer-songwriter around her performance at 2018’s Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago.

Few speak truth to mundanity quite like Courtney Barnett. Her work, including her 2015 debut LP Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit and this year’s Tell Me How You Really Feel, chronicles a series of ordinary moments made wondrous. Often employing a deadpan delivery, Barnett brings out the quiet sincerity of her subjects. (She also has a terrific, winking sense of humor.)

This conversation between Pitchfork Senior Editor Stacey Anderson and Barnett was recorded ahead of Barnett’s performance at 2018’s Pitchfork Music Festival.
