Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit
The 1543rd greatest album of all time
Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit is Courtney Barnett's 2015 debut studio album that blends indie rock and indie pop with lo-fi textures and plainspoken, conversational lyricism. The music pairs jangly, sometimes gritty guitar work and steady rhythmic grooves with Barnett's deadpan, observational vocals, balancing intimate storytelling and wry humor with occasional bursts of noisy rock energy, and helped establish her reputation for literate, unvarnished songwriting.
