Courtney Barnett – End of the Day (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Mozgawa, best known as the drummer for Warpaint, brings a rhythmic intuition to these collaborations that pushes Barnett into genuinely new sonic territory. Where Barnett's studio albums and live shows lean on her gift for deadpan lyrical detail, this score strips that away, leaving texture and mood to do the heavy lifting. For fans who've followed her catalog from "Sometimes I Sit and Think" forward, it's a rare chance to hear her work without the safety net of words.
Anonymous Club is Danny Cohen’s candid documentary about the personal travails and hard-fought triumphs of Courtney Barnett, as she rose through the ranks of indie rock during the last decade. A cautiously redemptive portrait, any happy ending reflects the possibilities of fulfillment and stability, not the things themselves. In May 2021, months before the film’s release, Courtney Barnett and collaborator Stella Mozgawa rendezvoused with Cohen in Melbourne to shape a score that fit that premise—nothing too obvious or instructive, to tell the audience how they should feel. Barnett found she liked listening to what the duo had made, existing within its reflective gaze. She began sorting through those little instrumentals like amoebic puzzle pieces, figuring out how they fit into a full picture. The result is a seamless series of 17 instrumental improvisations called End of the Day: Music from the Film ‘Anonymous Club’, soundtrack reimagined as impressionistic sound-art collage. Like Barnett’s rock songs, they wordlessly ask hard questions of our softest parts, wondering what it is we really find there.
