Intimately detailed and gorgeously sketched, Things Take Time, Take Time pulls back the curtain to reveal an optimistic and beautifully serene side to Barnett. “Before You Gotta Go”, is one of the luminous highlights, turning a frustrated kiss-off into the most gracious of love songs “If something were to happen my dear, I wouldn’t want the last words you hear to be unkind.” Meanwhile, Barnett and co-producer Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint, Cate le Bon, Kurt Vile) perform an elegant illusion; starting with a simple warm drone, they add myriad layers of synth, guitars, drums and percussion in slow crescendo. There’s a lot going on, yet they create a sense of boundless space. “Sometimes I try to say everything in one song, or put my whole belief system into a vox pop, but you just can't do that — it's impossible,” Courtney says. Things Take Time, Take Time, then, represents a realisation that ideology is represented through the way you treat others, not what you say in a song — that some things are more felt than said. This is Courtney’s world – full of the strangeness, busyness and undeniable warmth of life - and you will definitely want to spend some time in it.    Barnett will tour North America between November and February 2022 and has just added additional shows in New Haven, Connecticut and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Tickets to those shows are on sale on Thursday, August 12. All tickets can be purchased here.
