DEAD FOX was written by Courtney Barnett

Jen insists that we buy organic vegetables and I must admit that I was a little skeptical at first; a little pesticide can’t hurt?

Never having too much money I get the cheap stuff at the supermarket, but they’re all pumped up with shit,

A friend told me that they stick nicotine in the apples.

If you can’t see me I can’t see you

Heading down the Highway Hume somewhere at the end of June.

Taxidermied kangaroos are littered on the shoulders. A possum Jackson Pollock is painted on the tar.

Sometimes I think a single sneeze could be the end of us, my hay-fever is turning up, just swerved into a passing truck.

Big business overtaking, without indicating; he passes on the right, been driving through the night to bring us the best price.

If you can’t see me I can’t see you.

More people die on the road than they do in the ocean, maybe we should mull over culling cars instead of sharks

(or just lock them up in parks where we can go and view them).

There’s a bypass over Holbrook now, paid for with burgers no doubt, I’ve lost count of all the cows.

There’ll be no salad sandwiches. The law of averages says we’ll stop in the next town where petrol price is down (what do I know anyhow?)

If you can’t see me I can’t see you.

Brilliant, Courtney. I had no idea where you could've gone next whilst departing OS. I wrote a memoir.."I left just after history eraserI then returned, 6 months later, 'took a job in Sydney, ..relocated from the local scene.Imagine what this meant to me, driving up the Humey."Keep killing it. Or saving it. E/O xox

The verse is basically "rock & roll" by the Velvet underground. Not that I'm complaining , she is a great new talent!

Coutney Barnett había lanzado algunos avances, desde 2012, que preveían que el debut largo de esta cantautora australiana sería una exhibición de intuición melódica.Tenía a la crítica a sus pies, al público expectante y no ha defraudado porque presenta su trabajo con algunas canciones memorables como "Pedestrian At best", "Dead fox", "Avant Gardener" o "History Eraser". Courtney tiene talento, su síntesis de folk-rock-pop funciona a la perfección. Por momentos recuerda a Patti Smith, en otros se convierte en Lucinda Williams, Cat Power o Sharon Van Etten, siempre manteniendo un nivel alto en sus composiciones, con riffs de guitarras y sonido garage. A sus 27 años se ha convertido en una cautivadora compositora, que se mueve entre pensamientos profundos y los detalles más pequeños. En Dead fox, por ejemplo, nos habla de los animales atropellados en las carreteras, para acabar refiriéndose a las granjas industriales y la situación actual del capitalismo.Música independiente novedades.
