Description:

Waxahatchee, the project of Katie Crutchfield, will release a new album, Saint Cloud, on Merge Records, two and a half years after their last album, Out In The Storm. their first album since signing with Merge, " Ivy Tripp" (2015), their first album after signing with Merge, and "Out In The Storm" (2017), produced by John Agnello, who has worked with Sonic Youth and Dinosour.Jr, etc. The intense guitars, sophisticated noise, and punchy sound with the texture of 90s alternative rock are now back with "Out In The Storm", their first album with Merge. The intense guitars, sophisticated noise, and punchy sound of Out In The Storm (2017), with its 90s alternative rock textures, characterized the Philadelphia scene where she is now based, and had a profound influence on a burgeoning new generation of singer/songwriters. With her new album, "Saint Cloud," she removes the layers of sound she has experimented with in her recent work to create a space for her voice and lyrics, an attempt to tell a story that is representative of contemporary music. The result is a classic Americana sound with a modern touch, befitting her emergence as one of the leading storytellers of our time.Recording took place in the summer of 2019 at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas and Long Pond in Stuyvesant, New York with Brad Cook (Bon Iver, Big Red Machine) as producer. To solidify her vision for the album, Katie enlisted Bobby Colombo and Bill Lennox of the Detroit-based band Bonny Doom, Josh Kaufman of Hiss Golden Messenger and Bonny Light Horseman Kaufman, who plays in Hiss Golden Messenger and Bonny Light Horseman, and drummer Nick Kinsey, who plays in Kevin Morby's band, were recruited as guest musicians to create a sound palette that is broader than that of any previous album. This album, Saint Cloud, marks the beginning of a new journey for Katie Crutchfield, and is a masterpiece that will represent the indie world in 2020.
