What do we hold on to from our past? What must we let go of to truly move forward?

Waxahatchees Katie Crutchfield spent much of 2018 reckoning with these questions and revisiting her roots for answers.

The result is Saint Cloud, an intimate journey through the places shes been, filled with the people shes loved. Written immediately in the period following her decision to get sober, the album is an unflinching self-examination. This raw, exposed narrative terrain is aided by a shift in sonic arrangements as well. While her last two records featured the kind of big guitars, well-honed noise, and battering sounds that characterized her Philadelphia scene and strongly influenced a burgeoning new class of singer-songwriters, Saint Cloud strips back those layers to create space for Crutchfields voice and lyrics.
