“Dead Fox” by Courtney Barnett

"Dead Fox" comes from Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, the debut album Courtney Barnett released in March 2015, and the writing is hers alone, words and music both. She produced it with Dan Luscombe and Burke Reid, Reid engineered it, and the two of them mixed it.

The album was the full-length payoff for a scrappy do-it-yourself climb. The Australian songwriter had come up playing in Melbourne bands, launched a label of her own, Milk! Records, on a loan from her grandmother and put out her first EP there. Marathon Artists then paired that EP with her second as The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas in 2013, and the acclaim spread well beyond Australia, with Pitchfork naming "Avant Gardener" Best New Track. The album that followed landed on a pile of best-of-2015 lists.
