Pre-Order: Waxahatchee - American Weekend - Red/White Swirl Vinyl [Colored Vinyl]

Katie Crutchfield, under the name Waxahatchee, made her debut album during a snowstorm in the winter of 2012. She dedicated it "to anyone who had woke up and realized their identity is blurry, has had to clumsily get to know themselves, has hit a bottom, has felt self-deprecating and vagrant, and to anyone who has ridden out a shitstorm."She called it American Weekend. She means "American Weekend" in the same wide way that Kurt Cobain means "Teen Spirit," less social construct than natural phenomenon. This is a lo-fi masterpiece in the league of Lou Barlow and the Softies. We should consider it a descendent of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska, or else temper it no lower than Essential Listening.
