Waxahatchee - aka Katie Crutchfield - returns with a new album 'Ivy Tripp' on April 7 via Wichita Recordings, and signs to Merge Records for North America. Listen to ‘Air’, the first cut from the new album below.
The follow-up to her critically lauded 'Cerulean Salt', 'Ivy Tripp' drifts confidently from its predecessor and displays a more informed and powerful recognition of where Crutchfield currently finds herself. The previous themes of loss of youth and coming of age have been replaced with self control and sheer honesty. “My life has changed a lot in the last two years, and it’s been hard for me to process my feelings other than by writing songs,” says Crutchfield. “I think a running theme [of 'Ivy Tripp'] is steadying yourself on shaky ground and reminding yourself that you have control in situations that seem overwhelming."
Following the sold out solo show later this month at London’s St Pancras Church, Waxahatchee has announced a set of European dates with a full band for June. The line-up will include Katie Crutchfield (guitar, vocals), Keith Spencer (guitar), Katherine Simonetti (bass), Ashley Arnwine (drums), and Allison Crutchfield (guitar, keys and backup vocals).
