Courtney Barnett<\/a> has returned with the new single \u2018Stay In Your Lane\u2019. Check it out below.<\/p>\n

The track, released today (October 15), marks the first new music from Barnett since her 2023 surprise instrumental album \u2018End Of The Day\u2019<\/a>, and her 2021 LP \u2018Things Take Time, Take Time\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arriving via Fiction Records, \u2018Stay In Your Lane\u2019 is propelled by a raucous guitar riff and Barnett\u2019s signature drawl. \u201cGotta get this off my chest,\u201d she sings in the chorus, \u201cThis never would\u2019ve happened if I stayed in my lane, stayed the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n

It comes alongside a creepy video from filmmaker Alex Ross Perry, which sees Barnett in the centre of some kind of surgical ward, performing while wearing a blood-stained hospital gown. Other patients lounge around, wrapped in bandages and gazing ominously into the distance.<\/p>\n

Per a press release, the song \u201ckicks off her next musical chapter\u201d, of which further details will be announced soon.<\/p>\n

It will follow \u2018End of the Day\u2019, which was built from 17 meditative improvisational tracks. The album was originally recorded as a score for the documentary Anonymous Club<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a portrait of Barnett by Melbourne\/Naarm-based director\u00a0Danny Cohen<\/a>\u00a0that was three years in the making.<\/p>\n

In a four-star review<\/a> of her last studio album, \u2018Things Take Time, Take Time\u2019, NME\u00a0wrote: \u201cThough it lacks the more immediate bite of Barnett\u2019s previous work, its softness gives it a more tender focus. True to title \u2018Things Take Time, Time Time\u2019s unshowy songs take hold more slowly, but Barnett\u2019s small snatches of happiness grip you all the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time of the record\u2019s release, Barnett spoke to NME<\/a> about how film had shaped her writing. \u201cMore and more, I\u2019m influenced by films more than I am music. There\u2019s such a different level of projection on film,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cI\u2019m quite a visual person, and I enjoy being able to see people\u2019s body language, actors\u2019 body language. The very small moments that get captured on film.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Courtney Barnett has returned with the new single \u2018Stay In Your Lane\u2019.
