Courtney Barnett, Bob Mould, & Squirrel Flower Live Review: 7/26, Illinois Science & Technology Park Field, Skokie

Courtney Barnett

BY JORDAN MAINZER

The three artists who played the inaugural night of Out of Space Skokie at its temporary new location took advantage of the open space's clear sound and turned up the fuzz.

Headliner Courtney Barnett, three years removed from her third studio album Things Take Time, Take Time (Mom+Pop), made even that album's understated songs come alive, live. Backed by bassist Thomy Sloane and drummer Stella Mozgawa (of Warpaint, and co-producer of Things Take Time), Barnett elevated sad sack jam "Rae Street", the motorik "Turning Green", the wiry "Before You Gotta Go", and jangly single "Write a List of Things to Look Forward To", emphasizing sounds and lyrics performed and delivered much more subtly on record. "Time is money, and money is no man's friend," she sang on set opener "Rae Street", as if to contextualize the drawn-out nature of some of her back catalog highlights: the wandering "Avant Gardener", bluesy dirge "Small Poppies", and driving bass-led "City Looks Pretty". Vocally, Barnett's screamed rasp was as gravel-throated as ever, a perfect contrast to her droll sprechgesang, confirming the status of "Pedestrian at Best" as a justified shout-along.

Yet, true to Barnett's penchant for storytelling, the anthem of the night was also the slowest song, perhaps her best: the prescient "Depreston". At once a treatise on gentrification, mortality, and time itself, it's the type of song that stops you in your tracks when you realize you're singing back at Barnett, "If you've got a spare half a million / You could knock it down and start rebuildin'," occupying the persona of the grimy real estate agent viewing what was someone's home as a pure capital good. I suppose, after all, the ease at which we sing the song is a tribute to Barnett's empathy, evidence that those of us who participate in the same society with the same set of restrictive rules, have the potential for good and evil. Or maybe it's just a catchy melody.

Bob Mould

Bob Mould, meanwhile, performed solo, but electric, and the set was basically the answer to the question, "What would it sound like if you took away bassist Jason Narducy and drummer Jon Wurster from a normal Bob Mould band set?" Indeed, Mould played at the same breakneck pace as always, running around the stage during solos as if he was hyping up his invisible band. The warmth of his vocals was discernible even beside his distorted guitar tones, whether burning through a Hüsker Dü song or solo material (my one gripe from the setlist: only one Sugar song, the chintzy classic "Hoover Dam"). "Out of Space...out of breath!" Mould proclaimed in triumph after finishing "Siberian Butterfly", nonetheless a reminder to himself to keep on going even when you're the one doing all the work.

Squirrel Flower

Local artist Squirrel Flower, the project of singer-songwriter Ella O'Connor Williams, opened up the night, playing what she said may be her last show in Chicago for a while. For one, drummer Jacob Getzoff is going to nursing school, an announcement that garnered rapturous applause from the crowd. Moreover, ever prolific, Williams shared she hopes to take a break from playing live and write and record, despite having released her most recent and best album Tomorrow's Fire (Polyvinyl) less than a year ago. I'm glad I got to catch Squirrel Flower now, then, each song from Tomorrow's Fire leveled up, the slowcore "Almost Pulled Away" becoming full-on shoegaze, the crunchy "Intheskatepark" featuring drums that could have been audible even at the expansive Canal Shores. If you really want to get a sense for what Squirrel Flower sounds like live, though, simply take a look at the project's discography from start to finish. In other words, the same artist who self-released the stark early winter songs from middle america in 2015 is now faithfully covering "Cortez the Killer". To clarify, Squirrel Flower played only original material for Williams' first ever show in Skokie. "I've only been up here to get bagels," Williams said. No word on whether she's a New York Bagel & Bialy or Kaufman's person.

I was grateful to have captured Courtney Barnett at Bimbos 365 Club. She partnered up with Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint) on her first set, playing some really beautiful instrumentals. Then Courtney dug into some archives on the 2nd set, and the sold-out crowd loved every second of the show.

Watch "Andy Clockwise feat. Stella Mozgawa - Open Relationship" on YouTube

Why, why, why, why / Where, where, where did our love go?

I was looking at your face and the keys in the bowl / And I thought 'I'm in an open relationship'

Well I was looking at your friend and he was eyeing me whole / I'm in an open relationship / And I saw you take your hand and he walked you to his van / I'm in an open relationship / Well he walked me down and I saw you frown / I'm in an open relationship

But baby, this shit is driving me crazy / 'Cause every time you take a guy I ask myself why I agreed / To our open relationship / But baby, you're just being lazy / 'Cause every time I got a guy and he's in between my thighs I scream / 'I'm in an open relationship'

Why, why, why, why / Where, where, where did our love go? / Where did our love go, baby? / Why, why, why, why? / Bye, bye, bye / Too bad, I've gotta go / We're in an open relationship

Well I know that it's my bed but someone's lying in it / I told you a thousand times, baby, I hate this shit / Don't come 'round before two 'cause I've invited a few / This is our open relationship

But baby, please don't go away / I want a real relationship / Baby that's not my thing, 'cause I like the ding-a-ling / Plus, I'm in so many relationships

But baby, this shit is driving me crazy / 'Cause every time you take a guy I ask myself why I agreed / To our open relationship / Baby, you're just being lazy (I know I'm being lazy baby) / 'Cause every time I got a guy and he's in between my thighs I scream / 'I'm in an open relationship'

Why, why, why, why / Where, where, where did our love go? (I don't know) / Where did our love go, baby? / Why, why, why, why? / Bye, bye, bye / Too bad, I've gotta go / We're in an open relationship / We're in an open relationship / We're in an open relationship / We're in an open relationship

Courtney Barnett with Stella Mozgawa and Anjimile at National Sawdust

On Thursday, October 12, 2023, National Sawdust hosted the first night of two sold out, intimate shows featuring Courtney Barnett. For the first set, Barnett was joined by Sara Mozgawa and the duo performed the instrumental album, End Of The Day, that was composed for a documentary about Courtney. Then she did a solo set of songs from her albums, and a one song encore that was a cover song by the group Chastity Belt. The tour features Anjimile, who did a solo set on acoustic guitar, and played songs from his most recent album, The King.

I covered the show for National Sawdust and a few images I captured from the show last night can be found in the above gallery. There are limited tickets available for tonight’s show on Friday, the 13th at the door.

Full gallery available on my website here.
