Waxahatchee

Katie Crutchfield's journey into the heart of Americana has been a continual pleasure to hear, and here she takes it many steps further with country strings twanging against her ever-impactful vocals as she works through life's tribulations with the agility of a protective tigress.

Our Kev says "Her plaintive vocals soothe and ease away almost all troubles" While her sound has evolved from lo-fi folk to lush alt-tinged country, her voice has always remained the same. Honest and close, poetic with Southern lilting. Much like Carson McCullers's Mick Kelly, determined in her desires and convictions, ready to tell whoever will listen. And after years of being sober and stable in Kansas City-after years of sacrificing herself to her work and the road- Crutchfield has arrived at her most potent songwriting yet. On her 'Tigers Blood', Crutchfield emerges as a powerhouse-an ethnologist of the self-forever dedicated to revisiting her wins and losses. But now she's arriving at revelations and she ain't holding them back.
