Okay we love Waxahatchee.You have probably already heard some cuts off the record, so you know you are going to want it. It also comes with a download coupon. What more could you ever want?
Here is some more stuff that our friends at Merge had to say about this new album:
Waxahatchee, the solo musical project of Katie Crutchfield, is named after a creek not far from her childhood home in Alabama and seems to represent both where she came from and where shes going.Ivy Trippdrifts confidently from its predecessors and brings forth a more informed and powerful recognition of where Crutchfield has currently found herself. The lament and grieving for her youth seem to have been replaced with control and sheer self-honesty. My life has changed a lot in the last two years, and its been hard for me to process my feelings other than by writing songs, says Crutchfield. I think a running theme [ofIvy Tripp] is steadying yourself on shaky ground and reminding yourself that you have control in situations that seem overwhelming, or just being cognizant in moments of deep confusion or sadness, and learning to really feel emotions and to grow from that.
Recorded and engineered by Kyle Gilbride of Wherever Audio at Crutchfields home on New Yorks Long Islandwith drums recorded in the gym of a local elementary schoolIvy Tripppresents a more developed and aged version of Waxahatchee. The titleIvy Trippis really just a term I made up for directionless-ness, specifically of the 20-something, 30-something, 40-something of today, lacking regard for the complaisant life path of our parents and grandparents. I have thought of it like this: [Waxahatchees last album]Cerulean Saltis a solid andIvy Trippis a gas.
