On the back of one our favourite songs of 2012, History Eraser, Melbourne’s Courtney Barnett has issued the new track Avant Gardener that relates the onset of an allergic reaction amid the mundane chores of day to day life. Lyrically Barnett does amazing things here and on her other releases with her mix of observation and wit and it sets the bar high for an album hopefully on its way soon. The song also features Dan Luscombe (The Drones) and Jen Cloher among others. Check the moment at 4 mins where the song soars into a melodic chorus of oohs and aahs – totally ace.
