Waxahatchee Earns Her First Grammy Nomination After More Than a Decade of Music

Waxahatchee's Katie Crutchfield has finally earned her first Grammy nomination, for her album 'Tigers Blood.'

And after a string of incisive, intense indie rock albums (2013’s Cerulean Salt, 2015’s Ivy Tripp, and 2017’s Eye in the Storm), Crutchfield went back to the drawing board and completely changed up her sound. The result was 2020’s extraordinary Saint Cloud, one of the greatest albums of the pandemic era that saw Crutchfield steering away from rock and leaning into Americana — a sound with deep ties to her southern upbringing, making it a natural transition that didn’t feel forced. This year, Tigers Blood expanded on that sound to excellent effect, delivring highlights like the lakeside banger “Three Sisters” and spellbinding stunner “The Wolves.” (There’s also the knockout “365” on here, not to be confused with another very good “ 365 ” to come out of 2024.)
