Courtney Barnett Played The Slacker Love Anthem ‘If I Don’t Hear From You Tonight’ On ‘Kimmel’

Courtney Barnett’s third album, Things Take Time, Take Time, came out last month and the most endearing left-handed guitarist and cheeky lyricist in indie is in the midst of her North American tour. And come next year, we’ll get an intimate look at Barnett’s life on the road when the Anonymous Club documentary that was filmed over the course of the past three years is released.

But last night, Barnett appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to play the slacker love song, “If I Don’t Hear From You Tonight.” With Warpaint’s Stella Mozgawa on drums, Barnett delivered a typically tight performance of the clever jam. When the song first came out, Barnett said that it “comes from the state of where my head was at — trying to communicate honestly instead of keeping [my feelings] guarded.”

It’s a dashing number from the Aussie and you can watch the performance above. Also check out Barnett’s remaining tour dates below.
