Courtney Barnett has announced a new album, Creature of Habit, and shared a new song from it, “Site Unseen,” which features Waxahatchee. She’s also announced some new tour dates. Creature of Habit is due out March 27 via Mom + Pop. Below, check out the “Site Unseen” video, followed by the album details and tour dates.

Barnett shared the album’s opening track, “Stay In Your Lane,” last October.

In 2023 Barnett released a new instrumental album, End of the Day. Barnett’s last album of regular songs, Things Take Time, Take Time, came out in 2021 via Mom + Pop Music/Marathon Artists. Check out our Under the Radar Podcast episode, where we spoke to Barnett about that album.

Creature of Habit was written after Barnett relocated from her native Australia to Los Angeles and also closed down her label, Milk! Records.

Of “Site Unseen” and working with Waxahatchee (aka Katie Crutchfield), Barnett says in a press release: “I tried three separate times over two years to track this song, and each time it either wasn’t finished or didn’t sound right and each time we had to start again. I kept hearing this really high harmony in my head, so for the fourth and final version, I asked Katie if she’d be into singing it with me. I’m a big Waxahatchee fan. I really love Katie’s songwriting and her voice, so it was an honor to have her sing on ‘Site Unseen.’”
