Courtney Barnett Performs ”Rae Street” On ’Fallon’

Courtney Barnett performed her new song, “Rae Street,” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night, previewing a track from her forthcoming album, Things Take Time, Take Time, out November 12.

Barnett, known for her insightful, poetic lyrics and almost dead-pan performance style, is a modern-day Americana star. In the lineage of Patti Smith or Iggy Pop, Barnett captivates like a spell — evidenced on Fallon.

To date, Barnett has released a few songs already for fans from her upcoming album, including the track “Before You Gotta Go.”

She’s also released a formal video for “Rae Street.”
