Waxahatchee Likens New Album ‘Tigers Blood’ to ‘A Great Slice of Homemade Bread’
Waxahatchee's Katie Crutchfield on her new album, 'Tigers Blood,' and why working with MJ Lenderman is like 'a really potent spice.'
Tigers Blood carries on in Saint Cloud ’s alt-country vein, and like that record, it was made in just two weeks at Texas studio Sonic Ranch with producer Brad Cook (Bon Iver, Snail Mail). But the album has a character all its own, thanks in part to Crutchfield’s new backing band: Cook’s multi-instrumentalist brother Phil, drummer Spencer Tweedy and ascendant rocker Jake “MJ” Lenderman, whose vocal harmonies and guitar leads course through the songs. There is such a weird allure to reinventing yourself – like, that is sort of looming when you’re thinking about what to do next, you’re like, “OK, what pivot am I going to take?” We ultimately landed on the confident choice [being] to double down on what we did before and change a couple of little, small elements and just trust that it’s going to feel new.
