Tell Me How You Really Feel

Courtney Barnett

Gritty, mid-tempo indie rock that trades witty puns for raw introspection. A heavy, guitar-driven exploration of social anxiety and the weight of being seen.

It's like your smartest, most anxious friend finally stopped making jokes and told you what's actually wrong.

A heavy, introspective fog that occasionally breaks for flashes of sharp, distorted clarity.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden, abrasive shift into punk-inflected shouting on I’m Not Your Mother, I’m Not Your Bitch

The way the feedback swells and recedes like a tide on the opening track Hopefulessness

The interlocking, circular guitar riffs on City Looks Pretty that mimic the feeling of a racing mind
