American author Jacqueline Woodson expressed it well when writing "the more specific we are, the more universal something can become. Life is in the details. If you generalize, it doesn't resonate. The specificity of it is what resonates."
Tell Me How You Really Feel reflects the truth of that statement with a sharp storytelling instinct for small, crucial details. These songs document our everyday and eternal struggles and celebrate the triumphs in between, exploring life, love, friendship, self-imposed and societal pressures. The music resonates deeply too, Courtney Barnett and her band (Bones Sloane, Dave Mudie and Drones’ guitarist Dan Luscombe) perform soaring punk anthems and reflective rock ballads with precision. They're also joined by pioneers and peers Kim and Kelley Deal on 'Crippling Self Doubt and a General Lack of Self Confidence.'
