On her second full-length record as Waxahatchee, former P.S. Eliot singer Katie Crutchfield’s compelling hyper-personal poetry is continuously crushing. Cerulean Salt follows American Weekend -- a collection of minimal acoustic-guitar pop written and recorded in a week at her family’s Birmingham home. On this new record, Crutchfield’s songs continue to be marked by her sharp, hooky songwriting; her striking voice and lyrics that simultaneously seem hyper-personal yet relentlessly relatable, teetering between endearingly nostalgic and depressingly dark. But whereas before the thematic focus of her songcraft was on break ups and passive-aggressive crushing, this record reflects on her family and Alabama upbringing. Whereas American Weekend was mostly just Crutchfield and her guitar, Cerulean Salt is occasionally amped up, with a full band and higher-fi production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt times, Cerulean Salt creeps closer to the sound of PS Eliot: moody, 90s-inspired rock backed by Keith Spencer and Swearin’ guitarist Kyle Gilbride on drums and bass. The full band means fleshed-out fuzzy lead guitars on “Coast to Coast”, its poppy hook almost masking its dark lyrics. Big distorted guitars and deep steady drums mark songs like “Misery over Dispute” and “Waiting”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s plenty of American Weekend‘s introspection and minimalism to be found, though. “Blue Pt. II” is stripped down, Crutchfield and her sister Alison singing in harmony with deadpan vox. She’s still an open booking, musing on self-doubt versus self-reliance, transience versus permanence. “Peace and Quiet” ebbs and flows from moody, minimal verses to a sing-song chorus. “Swan Dive” tackles nostalgia, transience, indifference, regret — over the a minimal strum of an electric-guitar, the picking at a chirpy riff and the double-time tapping of a muted drum. The album closes with a haunting acoustic-guitar reflection on “You’re Damaged,” possibly the best Waxahatchee song to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTracks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1 Hollow Bedroom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2 Dixie Cups and Jars\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e3 Lips and Limbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e4 Blue, Pt. 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e5 Brother Bryan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e6 Coast to Coast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e7 Tangled Envisioning\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e8 Misery Over Dispute\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e9 Lively\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e10 Waiting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e11 Swan Dive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e12 Peace and Quiet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e13 You're Damaged\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: Digipack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2024-10-25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JITRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Waxahatchee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49857212416246,"sku":null,"price":15.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2160\/4233\/files\/waxahatchee-cerulean-salt_LQXXZ.jpg?v=1767906208","url":"https:\/\/curiouscollectionstx.com\/products\/waxahatchee-cerulean-salt-new-cd","provider":"Curious Collections Vinyl Records \u0026 More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
