Waxahatchee has announced a new album.
The follow-up to 2017's 'Out In The Storm' and the 2018 EP 'Great Thunder' is called 'Saint Cloud' and will arrive on March 27 via Merge Records. The American singer-songwriter, aka Katie Crutchfield, said:
"I think all of my records are turbulent and emotional, but this one feels like it has a little dose of enlightenment. It feels a little more calm and less reckless."
Crutchfield's backing band for the record consisted of Bonny Doon singer-songwriters Bobby Colombo and Bill Lennox, Josh Kaufman (Hiss Golden Messenger, Bonny Light Horseman) on guitar and keyboards, and Nick Kinsey (Kevin Morby, Elvis Perkins) on drums and percussion. Bonny Doon will also appear as Crutchfield's live band for her upcoming shows, including her recently confirmed spring North American tour.
Head below to check out the record's artwork, tracklist and first single, Fire, a moving indie-folk offering. Crutchfield explained:
"The idea and melody for 'Fire' was dreamt up while driving over the Mississippi River from Memphis into West Memphis, AR, sun reflecting off the water which literally made West Memphis glow. The song's written by me, to myself. It's about the internal dialogue of shame surrounding mistakes you've made in the past and how we spiral and beat ourselves up when we slip. It's meant to be a bit of a personal pep talk. If I can love myself unconditionally, then I can move through the world a little easier. If I can accept that I only have a partial view of the universe, and that I can't know everything or control much of anything, then I can breathe a little easier, take better care of myself, and be closer to my own truth."
