Lilacs is the second cut, following Fire, to be lifted from Katie Crutchfield's new album, 'Saint Cloud', which is due out on March 27 via Merge Records. Discussing the country-tinged, folk track's subject matter, she said:
"'Lilacs' was the last song I wrote for the record and it's mostly just about obsessive/negative thought patterns. It's about backsliding into old behaviours that don't serve you and sort of letting your worst self get the best of you. I think that when people are in that mindset they can really try to turn the blame onto other people, so the song sort of plays out like a conflict you'd have with someone you love. It's meant to capture that moment of heat that happens right when you realise you're wrong or that your issue is more with yourself than with someone else - being flawed and fragile but making progress inch by inch. The chorus serves as a sweet little resolve. I wanted it to feel like the light at the end of the tunnel and the reminder that it can always and often does get better."
Waxahatchee will support the album with a previously confirmed spring North American tour, and newly announced summer European and UK tour. Tickets are on sale now, except for London, which goes on sale at 10am on February 21.
