Courtney Barnett Writer’s Block, Scrapped Songs, and Why Some Tracks Just Won’t Leave You Alone

Courtney Barnett is back talking with Kyle Meredith about Creature of Habit, digging into those years between records, the move to LA, and why that chapter is more backdrop than the story itself. She gets into second-guessing songs like “Mostly Patient” and “Site Unseen” before pulling them back from the edge, trusting instinct even when it feels like a dead end, and how ideas can sit for years before finally clicking. There’s also talk about subtle callbacks across her catalog, turning old riffs into new songs, and working with Flea and Katie Crutchfield in a loose, live-in-the-room session. And somewhere in there, she’s still figuring out if those songs are actually talking to each other or if that’s just us connecting the dots.Listen to Courtney Barnett chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
