The Australian singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett is no slouch. Only just entering her mid-twenties, she's already put out a handful of well-received EPs on her very own label, Milk! Records. Few singers can reconcile themes as opposed as gardening and masturbation on a single record; but her wit and acerbic observational humour gives Barnett freedom to explore pretty much any subject and still be likeable. She'll be performing on Valentine's Day at Le Divan du Monde, as part of a preview event for the forthcoming Les Femmes s'en Mêlent festival. Mariam The Believer is on supporting duties.
