To most of the UK the music of recent Wichita-signing Waxahatchee will be entirely brand new the forthcoming Cerulean Salt record the introduction to her world of angsty, folk-ish songs about love, loss, and nostalgia. For Katie Crutchfield, the 24-year-old Alabaman behind the project, music is something shes been making for ten years already with Cerulean Salt merely the latest in a long series of releases with a number of different bands and under various guises, and her second as Waxahatchee. As impressive as her previous output is, the new Waxahatchee album certainly feels like a [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-13T11:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/5003402/review-waxahatchee-cerulean-salt/
Waxahatchee | Cerulean Salt by Tom Johnson In the build-up to the one scene in Garden State that's it's still OK for a twenty-eight year old to love - you know, the bit where Natalie Portman tap-dances in front of the fire while Fair by Remy Zero plays (oh shoosh) - her character talks about about people being "in it" , which, she goes on to add, is something her mum says when someone is completely lost in the moment when telling a story that really [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-10T05:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4995970/new-video-waxahatchees-coast-to-coast/

Earlier today, I posted a bigass list of my favorite music videos of the year. That should honestly be enough to keep your optic nerves crammed full for the day. But if you're done with it, or you're somehow low on viewing options this weekend, please note that plenty of other good music videos came out this week. Five of them are below.

Photo by Dave Litcherman Super-group Divine Fits have somehow released two new tracks almost as one on Conan, they played "Chained to Love" and "Ain't That the Way" and it worked. Both tracks showcase the Spoon/Wolf Parade vibes as one, while also just totally rocking the way a super-group should. Never ones to miss a beat, the performance was seamless and the new tracks killer.

With a successful winter tour, a buzzworthy SXSW presence and the release of acclaimed album Cerulean Salt , 2013 has become a breakout year for Katie Crutchfield and Waxahatchee . Though she may have parleyed her acoustic one-woman show into a lo-fi Pavement-y turn-the-90s-up-to-11 aesthetic, the intimacy and nuance of her songwriting still resonates (in tandem with the reverb). The video for "Coast to Coast," dropping today in anticipation of the new album's U.K. release and supporting tour, features Crutchfield and sister Allison taking a swim in Waxahatchee Creek, the band's namesake and [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-05T15:54:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4994415/some-new-tunes-some-old-tunes-all-good-tunes-some/

Waxahatchee' s Katie Crutchfieldis pretty stoked we're in June and the sun's all hot and our skin's sticky and lemonade's about as hot a commodity as $10,000. At least, that's what we gather from her new video for Cerulean Salt single "Coast to Coast". Directed by Ryan Russell and edited by former Look Mexico drummer Josh Mikel, the clip comes pretty straightforward: a lazy summer day by the lake . Alongside her sister Alison, Katie, another pal, and her dog Scout gofor a good ol' American sing 'n' swimin Alabama's, wait for it, [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-05T15:15:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4989009/new-music-video-coast-to-coast-waxahatchee/
Waxahatchee (a.k.a. Katie Crutchfield) recently released a new music video for "Coast to Coast," off her latest LP Cerulean Salt (Don Giovanni), that seems just right for the summertime as you watch Crutchfield and friends take a dip in Alabama's Waxahatchee Creek. The video was directed by filmmaker Ryan Russell. Waxahatchee will be performing a free concert on July 31 at Morgan's Pier. Ha...never thought that we'd use the word "Waxahatchee" so many times in one short paragraph. Waxahatchee!]]> text/html 2013-06-05T15:08:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4989011/video-waxahatchee-coast-to-coast/
I had to do it, just like I had to buy both her LP's. It's a guilty pleasure. I heard someone compare her toConnerOberst, which I really don't want to believe is true.

Waxahatchee's Cerulean Salt remains my favorite album of 2013 (and it did pretty well on our half-year list , too), but when I recommend it in conversation, I usually find myself having to explain the band name: "It's named after a creek or something, I think." Well, Katie Crutchfield's project is indeed named after Waxahatchee Creek, a body of water in Alabama, where Crutchfield grew up. And her new video for the delightfully fuzz-punking Cerulean Salt song " Coast To Coast " shows Crutchfield and friends (including her twin sister Allison, [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-05T10:54:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4988536/watch-take-a-swim-with-waxahatchee-and-friends-in-the/
The new music video for the lively and Liz Phair-esque "Coast to Coast" sees Waxahatchee returning to its namesake with some friends and videographer Ryan Russell. Filmed along Alabama's Waxahatchee Creek earlier this year, it's an unfussy, casual and fun visual element to the song, a dockside swimming party on a sunny day. Whether or not there will be similar cannonballs into the Delaware when Waxahatchee plays a free show at Morgan's Pier on July 31 remains to be seen, but for now you can check out the video below.

Your #1 feminist pop fantasy realized: sisters Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee and Allison Crutchfield of Swearin ' (both formerly of P.S. Eliot ) were asked by Rookie , the online zine for teen girls, to record a song to serve as the site's May theme song, and they chose to cover Grimes ' breakout single "Oblivion." It's a fantastic cover that reinvents pretty much all of Claire Boucher's original instrumentation (that irresistible synth bassline gets translated onto an electric bass, and the Crutchfield sisters layer plenty of [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-21T15:01:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4962533/waxahatchee-y-swearin-llevan-oblivion-de-grimes-al-surf-garage/

Waxahatchee un nome difficile da scrivere per dove la acca, per quante e ci sono e a pronunciarlo sembra che stai per alzare un'ascia e ammazzare (o a tentare di) Tex. Io con Tex ci ho provato da ragazzino ma dopo un po' mi faceva due maroni, sono passato a Dylan Dog e Nathan Never, quest'ultimo abbandonato quasi subito. Mah. scritta una premessa abbastanza idiota c' da considerare il nuovo disco di Waxahatchee, all'anagrafe Katie Crutchfield, titolo Cerulean Salt.
