Waxahatchee shares “365,” the latest from her highly anticipated upcoming album, Tigers Blood, out March 22nd on ANTI- Records.
The song, which features a phenomenal vocal performance, is released alongside a gorgeous one-shot music video directed by frequent collaborators Corbett Jones & Nick Simonite.
“‘365' is a song about codependency as it pertains to addiction and relationships with addicts. It's something I've dealt with a lot in my life and I really wanted to distill the nerves and emotions down to their purest form in this song,” Katie Crutchfield explains. “Brad Cook and I had a lot of ideas we tried for this one, but in the end, we tracked it live just him, Jake Lenderman and myself running the song a couple of times together in the room."
Pitchfork, who profiled Crutchfield today in their first cover story of the 2024, saying that the album takes Waxahatchee “to an even higher level” and that “it includes stories of late-night fights with loved ones, friendships frayed beyond repair, and elegies for an idyllic past that may never have existed in the first place. Even the radiant love song at its peak is about coming to terms with exhaustion and despair.”
Waxahatchee will be on tour in North America, Europe and the UK this spring and summer in support of Tigers Blood and additionally, has also announced a series of Tigers Blood listening parties, starting on March 21st and hosted at independent record stores worldwide. Listening party details here. All tour dates below.
On Tigers Blood, Crutchfield emerges as a powerhouse – an ethnologist of the self – forever dedicated to revisiting her wins and losses. Tigers Blood also finds Crutchfield folding new collaborators into her world, with performances on the album by MJ Lenderman, Spencer Tweedy and Phil Cook as well as trusted collaborator / producer Brad Cook, whom she also worked with on her groundbreaking album Saint Cloud.
Crutchfield says that she wrote most of the songs on Tigers Blood during a “hot hand spell” while on tour in 2022. And when it came time to record, Crutchfield returned to her trusted producer Brad Cook and the Sonic Ranch in the border town Tornillo, Texas, a collaborator and place that also helped bring her sound to a groundbreaking turning point on 2020's Saint Cloud.
Saint Cloud was a breakthrough album for Waxahatchee, and despite being released in the height of the pandemic it entered #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart & Top 10 on the Emerging Artist chart. It was a welcome musical escape for many and cemented her status as an important voice in the indie-Americana scene. Now with Tigers Blood we see Crutchfield dig even deeper, the result is a complex and beautiful album that is sure to find a special place in people's hearts once again.
