Australian singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett shared "Site Unseen," a brand new song and the first single from a new album called Creature of Habit, out on March 27 via Mom+Pop Music. The record follows Barnett's relocation from Australia to Los Angeles, a theme of change and confusion that permeates the 10 songs.

The new album will be followed by a North American tour in May.

"Site Unseen" also features Katie Crutchfield (Waxahatchee) on harmonies.

Tell Me How You Really Feel
Mom + Pop (2018)

Courtney Barnett’s output is usually a sure thing – which is why it’s strange her latest, Tell Me How You Really Feel is weirdly disappointing.
