At her well-received performances at the CMJ Music Marathon, Barnett was mentioned by both Rolling Stone and The New York Times as a standout performer.

On 30 January 2015, Barnett released details on her upcoming full-length album, recorded in April 2014 with Burke Reid, along with two singles, “Pedestrian at Best” and “Depreston” and accompanying music videos.
