The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas is a compilation by Australian rock musician Courtney Barnett which compiles two of her previous EPs: How to Carve a Carrot into a Rose (tracks 1–6) and I've Got a Friend Called Emily Ferris (tracks 7–12). It was released by Marathon Artists' House Anxiety Records on 14 October 2013 in the UK, and on the following day in the US.




Composition


Mike Powell for Rolling Stone saw Barnett's sound as "jangly, rumpled" indie rock like that of Pavement and even recalling early Bob Dylan. It also digs into "freewheeling" anti-folk songs like on "History Eraser".
It is also rich in psychedelia sounds, from her "psychedelic-leaning guitar wails" to her "psych-smeared, full-band backing."




Critical reception



Rolling Stone's Mike Powell gave the EP 3 out of 5 stars, calling it "an informal introduction to an artist who probably has more to offer." In contrast, AllMusic's Scott Kerr was more favorable in his review of the EP, giving it 4 out of 5 stars and writing that "It's clear to see that together these EPs are an indicator of her wonderful songwriting talent."
