When Aussie indie rocker Courtney Barnett found out she was nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy, it wasn’t a complete surprise, but it was a bit of a shock.
As she tweeted on Dec. 7, Barnett found out about the nomination after wrapping up a long international flight from Paris to Abu Dhabi and finally back home to Melbourne. It was then that her drummer Dave Mudie turned on his phone and read the news.
“There were some whispers that it might happen,” she says, in a phone interview from her home in Melbourne, while taking a break from her relentless touring schedule for the holidays. “But I didn’t really think it was a possibility, to be honest.”
Living with the news for a few weeks hasn’t changed her initial response. “It’s been the same kind of reaction since I found out,” she says. “Slightly crazy, but kind of nice to be recognized on that level. It’s great.”
