Staff Writer

Huge placing for their debut album.

The new collaborative album between Aussie heavyweight Courtney Barnett and LA artist Kurt Vile, Lotta Sea Lice, has continued to impress globally, today cracking the top 15 of the UK Albums Top 100 chart. 

The critically-acclaimed LP has charted at #11 on the list and just behind a top-ten list that features the likes of Foo Fighters, The Killers, Ed Sheeran and P!nk's Beautiful Trauma which has debuted at #1.

Lotta Sea Lice has already charted on a number of international charts, including Scotland (#8) and New Zealand (#12).

Barnett and Vile are currently touring through the US in support of the album.
