Waxahatchee reveals new video & arrives in the UK next week

Waxahatchee has revealed a beautifully shot, nostalgic and summery video for the current single ‘Coast To Coast’, released on 23 June. Filmed at Waxahatchee Creek in Alabama, the very place that inspired her name, it features Katie Crutchfield and her twin sister Allison playing guitar, messing around in the sun and diving into the lake with their dog Scout.

Waxahatchee will arrive in the UK tomorrow for her first ever run of European dates supporting Tegan And Sara, followed by two London shows next week at the Shacklewell Arms and Dalston Roof Gardens.

The already acclaimed new album ‘Cerulean Salt’ is released on 1 July via Wichita.

‘Open-hearted, beautifully harrowing… the new album’s searingly honest lyrics mesh dreamily with Katie’s poignant variety of impassioned, scoured grunge pop’ NME
‘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’ Loud & Quiet
‘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’ 8.4 Pitchfork
‘With a voice and a talent for songwriting like hers, Katie has the potential to become a genuine great’ DIY Magazine

2013 has already been a whirlwind of a year for the Alabama-born Katie Crutchfield, after the release of her second album under the moniker Waxahatchee last month in the US on venerable punk label Don Giovanni earning ‘Best New Music’ and an 8.4 album score from Pitchfork as well as the ‘SPIN Essentials’ tag and continued support from NPR, among many others. This was followed by a very enthusiastically received string of shows at SXSW where she was singled out as one of the festival’s highlights by both local and international press, resulting in Wichita picking up the record for a worldwide release (excluding North America) this summer.

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. Sounding like an instant classic from the get go, its songwriting recalls the rawness of early Cat Power, the introspective lyrics of Rilo Kiley and the indie fuzz of The Breeders
