This Friday, indie rock artist Courtney Barnett is releasing her third studio album, Things Take Time, Take Time. She’s already shared several songs for the album, including “Write List of Things to Look Forward To,” “Before You Gotta Go” and “Rae Street.” Today, she shared one last track before the album comes out, “If I Don’t Hear From You Tonight” with bassist Cate Le Bon and drummer Stella Mozgawa.
The music video zooms in on the Australian artist playing an icy blue electric guitar in the desert, before zooming back out to reveal the other musicians also wearing solid-colored jumpsuits. The barren landscape of the video exemplifies the message of the laid-back track: the singer still desires attention from the listener but has ultimately come to the conclusion that they won’t hold her back.
“I think my stance in the past was like,” Barnett said in a press release, “There’s so many love songs and they don’t mean anything,’ but there’s something really special about zooming in on a moment and capturing it. “‘If I Don’t Hear From You Tonight’ comes from the state of where my head was at — trying to communicate honestly instead of keeping [my feelings] guarded.”
Shortly after the album release, Barnett will venture on a North American tour, which kicks off on Nov. 27 in Pioneertown, CA, and end on Feb. 12 in Toronto. There are nearly 30 dates on the tour, with the artist visiting major cities such as Las Vegas, Phoenix, LA, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Raleigh, Nashville, Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia and more. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.
