Praise for Cerulean Salt:
‘This combination of musical innocence and lyrical experience draws you in… one that sounds just a little more epic with every play’ ‘Album of the Week’ The Observer
‘This is intimate, confident songwriting… Crutchfield’s lyrics are simultaneously starkly honest and tricksily complex’ ‘Album Of The Week’ 4/5 Time Out
‘Truths rarely come as beautiful as this’ 8/10 NME
‘Crutchfield would no doubt laugh it off, but she’s already something of a star and, whatever direction she chooses to take, her potential seems boundless’ 4/5 Mojo
‘An intimacy and directness which will surely make Cerulean Salt one of 2013’s biggest albums… a lethally brilliant concoction’ 4/5 Q Magazine
‘The songs Katie Crutchfield sings as Waxahatchee are like scalpels; they slice through her life, her loves and her dreams’ The Guardian
‘Deceptively deep… if at first it seems like Cerulean Salt is a straight forward affair, it’s only because you haven’t taken the time to dive into its carefully constructed dramas and astonishingly stark confessions’ 8/10 Loud & Quiet
‘While it’s always been clear that she is a talented songwriter, Cerulean Salt represents an outstanding example of Crutchfield’s talent blossoming into one of US indie’s most vital and compelling voices’ 8/10 DIY Magazine
‘It’s something of a triumph’ The Fly
‘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-centred, but generous’ 8.4 Pitchfork
2013 has been a whirlwind of a year for the Alabama-born Katie Crutchfield, with the release of her second album under the moniker Waxahatchee in the US in March on venerable punk label Don Giovanni earning ‘Best New Music’ and an 8.4 album score from Pitchfork, followed by a very enthusiastically received string of shows atSXSW where she was singled out as one of the festival’s highlights. After signing with Wichita who picked up the record for a worldwide release (excluding North America) this summer, the high praise followed in the UK scoring ‘Album Of The Week’ across the board including the Observer and Time Out.
Katie Crutchfield is a natural at writing confessional pop songs. Since picking up the guitar as a teenager she has spent the better part of her young adult life travelling the country to play basement shows for feminist punks with bands like P.S. Eliot, Bad Banana and The Ackleys, all of which she sang for. Crutchfield and her twin sister Allison were best known as P.S. Eliot, a band that developed a cultish underground following until disbanding in 2011. Deciding to go it alone, Crutchfield became Waxahatchee and released her debut album American Weekend in 2012 and its lo-fi acoustic guitar-pop songs made for one of the year’s best unsung records.
With Cerulean Salt, Crutchfield turns it up a notch and plugs in the guitar as well as adding a few band mates. A more accomplished and polished record, but no less intimate and affecting, the strength of Cerulean Salt lies in the simplicity and purity of its songs; a quality that ties them to millennial pop-punk, with melodies that immediately penetrate alongside Crutchfield’s frank vocal, delivering devastating, straight-from-the-heart lyrics backed by lacerating guitars and slouchy basslines.
