Creature of Habit is a bold, emotionally resonant record that explores the central question: how to get out of your own way so you can truly feel your life. Written in the wake of a relocation from Australia to Los Angeles and the closure of her long-running label Milk! Records, Barnett was grappling with changes that put the future of both her life and career in question. Rather than internalizing those feelings, she decided to bring all this swirling confusion directly into the recording process.

With previous singles “Stay in Your Lane,” “Site Unseen (feat. Waxahatchee),” “Mantis,” “Sugar Plum,” and album focus track “One Thing at a Time,” setting the tone, along with music and production cameos from Flea, Floating Points, John Congleton (Death Cab For Cutie, Sharon Van Etten), Marta Salogni (Bjork, Black Midi, Gorillaz) and Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint), the album marks a decisive new chapter in Courtney Barnett’s musical evolution.

“This album is all about change,” Barnett shares on the project. “It’s in the lyrics, it’s in the ideas, I can’t avoid it. It’s about embracing change, but also grieving the things that have changed – the chaos and confusion of all of those feelings.”
