Katie Crutchfield has been nothing but honest as Waxahatchee . Her careful words carry keen insight — and she writes sharp songs to match. Waxahatchee's fourth album, Out In The Storm, takes a hard look not just at broken relationship, but also at the spiraling aftermath.
"I don't want to call it a break-up record, but it was a romantic and professional relationship that fell apart," Crutchfield tells Lenny Letter . "I had to end it, and it rippled throughout every little corner of my life."
"Silver," the album's first single out today with a video directed by Catherine Elicson, is the sound of the world crashing down around you — and that humbly recognizes that "the whole world keeps turning." The guitar-driven track has a diaphanous sheen that unfolds in slow motion, but with weight that sparks a difficult epiphany.
Out In The Storm comes out July 14 on Merge . Waxahatchee goes on tour with The New Pornographers starting April 18.
