Not a ton of music videos feature sporting events. And yet the video for Courtney Barnett's Avant Gardner is one of three that I can think of off the top of my head featuring tennis. The other two being "Giving Up the Gun" by Vampire Weekend and "Calamity Song" by The Decemberists, but that one actually has a variation of tennis from David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest. Anyway, I guess indie bands like tennis?
Avant Gardner is a strange stream of consciousness song that kind of winds around and around, detailing a not so average morning. The dream waves of the guitars and Barnett's mesmerizing mostly spoken word will draw you in. You'll be singing about breathing problems in no time. Hope you enjoy.
