Waxahatchee – “Silver” Video
Two years ago, Katie Crutchfield’s Waxahatchee project released a truly great album called Ivy Tripp. And yesterday, Crutchfield announced that she’ll follow that one up this summer with a new LP called Out In The Storm. Crutchfield recorded the new LP in Philadelphia, with the veteran Dinosaur Jr./Sonic Youth collaborator John Agnello producing.
Crutchfield’s twin sister Allison — who released her own great solo debut Tourist In This Town earlier this year — played keyboards and percussion on the new album, while Sleater-Kinney touring member Katie Harkin played lead guitar. The band recorded much of the album live in the studio — a big departure from Ivy Tripp, where Crutchfield and producer Keith Spencer recorded the entire album themselves in a rented Long Island house.
Speaking about the new album in a press release, Crutchfield says, “Ivy Tripp doesn’t really have any resolution. It’s a lot of beating around the bush, and superficially trying to see my life clearly, but just barely scratching the surface. Out In The Storm digs into what I was going through without blinking. It’s a very honest record about a time in which I was not honest with myself.”
First single “Silver” is an explosively catchy guitar-pop anthem that sounds like Waxahatchee’s whole classic sound blown out and made widescreen. It captures a lot of the buzzing excitement of a new relationship, and it fucking rules. Below, watch a video for it and check out the album’s tracklist.
