Courtney Barnett [CANCELLED] at Wang Theatre

“A lot of the songs [on the new album] are letters to friends and end up being letters to myself.” Courtney says the calmness reflected in the album is true to what she herself was searching for the past few years. “I listened to a lot of softer, ambient, instrumental music last year. I tried to create the kind of music that I was craving to listen to.”
