Next month, Waxahatchee will follow up the great 2020 album Saint Cloud with a new one called Tigers Blood, recorded with Brad Cook in Texas and featuring a backing band that includes MJ Lenderman and Spencer Tweedy. You should be excited about that. That’s going to rule. We’ve already posted first single “Right Back To It.” Now, Katie Crutchfield has dropped another one on us.

“Bored” is a swaggering midtempo country-rock jam about being sick of people’s shit. It’s got some serious snarl on the verses, and it really opens up on the chorus. At this point, there’s nothing surprising about a great new Waxahatchee song. You know what you’re getting, and you can be assured that it rocks.

“I wrote ‘Bored’ in the wake of a friendship that ended badly & I was pretty shattered by it. I learned a lot from how the whole thing played out,” Crutchfield says. “I certainly could have done things differently and I certainly had a part in why it ended badly, but this is one of those situations where anger was called for and was the only authentic place from which to write about what I was experiencing. I hope you listen to it before you go quit your job, dump some jerk you’re dating, feel heinously, egregiously, unbelievably wronged or are genuinely so over a bad situation that you’ve grown bored of it. Turn it up loud, windows down, I would love to be your friend in that moment.”

Corbett Jones and Nick Simonite directed the “Bored” video, and it captures Katie Crutchfield and her band playing at a Fletcher, Texas bar called the Devil’s Backbone Tavern. I’m guessing Crutchfield doesn’t own the hot-rod three-wheel thing that she sits in outside the bar, but I hope she does. Waxahatchee has also expanded a tour that was already pretty expansive.
