How to Carve a Carrot Into a Rose

Courtney Barnett

Witty, deadpan storytelling over gritty fingerstyle guitar. A rambling, brilliant conversation about panic attacks, gardening, and the beauty of the mundane.

October 15, 2013

A witty and observant internal monologue that finds the humor and anxiety in the everyday.

Moments Worth Listening For

The casual, self-deprecating delivery of the paramedic encounter in Avant Gardener

The woozy, slightly detuned piano chords that anchor the slow-burn opener Out of the Woodwork

The frantic, Dylan-esque wordplay that accelerates through the chorus of History Eraser
