Avant Gardener by Courtney Barnett

“Perfect lyrics. To use Courtney's own word, the story borders on the "mundane," but her vivid and droll spoken word account of having an asthma (or is it anxiety?) attack is a knockout. Add to that a rolling bass line , a backdrop of feedback guitar, and a prettily sung wordless bridge. "Avant Gardener" is an instant classic.”
