Description
American Weekend is the debut album from Waxahatchee, originally released last year on Don Giovanni in the US.
This album is more stripped down and lo-fi than its now highlyacclaimed follow up, Cerulean Salt, recorded over 8 days by Katie Crutchfield while snowed in at her childhood home in Alabama.
This album may be sparser in sound than Cerulean Salt but the songs are just as powerfully affecting, mediating on the highs and lows of 20-something life with a rawness that recalls the likes of Girly-Sound-era Liz Phair, Elliott Smith and PJ Harvey.
180g vinyl (with CD of album included).
Katie Crutchfield has a way of delivering a line so casually that it takes a half-dozen listens to fully realise how devastating it is the work of a songwriter skilled enough to make introspection seem not self-centered, but generous Pitchfork
The nakedness of Crutchfields music is the source of both its confidence and its vulnerability Spin
Rightly one of the most talked about artists at SXSW, for a tough but tender take on the singer-songwriter NME
With a voice and a talent for songwriting like hers, Katie has the potential to become a genuine great DIY Magazine
