Waxahatchee Announces New Album Ivy Tripp
Katie Crutchfield, aka Waxahatchee, will release her third LP Ivy Tripp on April 7 via her new home Merge (Wichita will oversee its international release). It follows 2013′s Cerulean Salt. Listen to “Air”, above.
Crutchfield produced the album with Kyle Gilbride and Keith Spencer (also of Crutchfield’s sister Allison’s band Swearin’), who also play on the album.
The album’s title is “really just a term I made up for directionless-ness, specifically of the 20-something, 30-something, 40-something of today, lacking regard for the complaisant life path of our parents and grandparents,” Crutchfield said in a press release. “I have thought of it like this: Cerulean Salt is a solid and Ivy Tripp is a gas.”
She added:
My life has changed a lot in the last two years, and it’s been hard for me to process my feelings other than by writing songs. I think a running theme [of Ivy Tripp] is steadying yourself on shaky ground and reminding yourself that you have control in situations that seem overwhelming, or just being cognizant in moments of deep confusion or sadness, and learning to really feel emotions and to grow from that…
I heard someone say that you have to be the change you want to see. I just want to be the kind of musician I want to see in the world. I want to present myself in a way that reflects that.
Waxahatchee have also announced a North American tour which kicks off this spring. Crutchfield’s touring band will feature her sister Allison. Check out the full list of dates below.
