Once outside again, Sloane reveals that “Kim” is his ex-girlfriend, and that the caravan, situated on Phillip Island near Melbourne, is actually “Kim’s mum’s caravan”.Īfter another journey in a people carrier to the stage ready for their 8pm start, Barnett (now garbed in a T-shirt from Melbourne band Batpiss) is given some origami cranes by two fans. However, the CB3 have played the song at so few festivals that they have to disappear into their cabin to practise it acoustically on Barnett’s Taylor Baby. “Kim’s…” is perhaps Barnett’s most fascinating song to date, an expansive, seven-minute tone poem with little recognisable structure and a deliciously stream-of-consciousness lyric, which builds from a subtle hum to a maelstrom of fuzz guitars. “This one’s for you,” says Sloane, as he copies out set lists for their Lowlands gig later in the afternoon, and writes down “Kim’s Caravan” as the third-to-last song they’re playing it tonight partly at Uncut’s behest and partly because they have a longer set than usual. I’m constantly taking photos of everyone and writing songs about people anyway, so who am I to talk?” It’s weird being interviewed or filmed, because there’s that part of me that’s like, ‘Oh my God, I’m so boring! Should I try and be more interesting?’ And then I’m like, ‘No, you don’t do that ’cos that’s not you.’ It’s a long personal struggle. I can be a bit frantic and obsessive and high-adrenaline, and then really low. Jen and I always joke that our cat seeks out my company because of my calm aura. “Well, that’s nice,” she laughs when Uncut mentions her tranquil demeanour.
