Waxahatchee Makes Late-Night TV Debut Peforming "Lilacs" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

WAXAHATCHEE  MAKES LATE-NIGHT TV DEBUT PERFORMING  “LILACS” ON JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! PERFORMANCE WITH KEVIN MORBY ON CBS THIS MORNING THIS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13

Waxahatchee (aka Katie Crutchfield) made her late-night debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night performing “Lilacs” off of her critically acclaimed 2020 album Saint Cloud, out now on Merge Records. Filmed in her now hometown of Kansas City, the video is a gorgeous nod to one of the purest songs of last year.  For even more Waxahatchee, purchase tickets to her Bandsintown PLUS livestream tomorrow at 9pm ET. Fans can also tune into CBS This Morning: Saturday on February 13, where Crutchfield will be performing other greats from Saint Cloud. Saint Cloud has been hailed by critics as a career-defining album, landing in the top five on year-end lists at the New York Times, Pitchfork, NPR, Stereogum, Rolling Stone and many more. The New Yorker hailed the album as “a talisman of the self-isolation era,” writing “‘Saint Cloud’ has taken on new resonances in quarantine. Crutchfield’s lyrics, more precise than they’ve ever been, articulate moments of uncertainty and self-recrimination… They also crack open a sense of acceptance, of time stretching and perspectives changing and everyday continuity threading things along.” Written immediately in the period following her decision to get sober, Saint Cloud is an unflinching self-examination. From a moment of reckoning in Barcelona to a tourist trap in Tennessee to a painful confrontation on Arkadelphia Road, from a nostalgic jaunt down 7th Street in New York City to the Mississippi Gulf, Crutchfield creates a sense of place for her soul-baring tales, a longtime staple of her storytelling. This raw, exposed narrative terrain is aided by a shift in sonic arrangements as well.  Listen to & purchase Saint Cloud on CD and LP: http://smarturl.it/saintcloud Subscribe to Bandbox to buy this colored vinyl LP that comes with a full-color printed zine.

ACCLAIM FOR SAINT CLOUD: “A talisman of the self-isolation era… Saint Cloud evokes a sense of freedom and belonging that has been elusive in this era of constraint and distance.” THE NEW YORKER "Confident and accomplished." NEW YORK TIMES, Critic’s Pick "Some of Crutchfield's most poetic lyrics." NPR "With a shift in tone and tempo, Katie Crutchfield creates a vivid modern classic of folk and Americana. It’s the sound of a cherished songwriter thawing out under the sun." PITCHFORK, Best New Music "Some of Crutchfield’s sharpest songs to date." BILLBOARD "The best album of her career." VOGUE   "The kind of country comfort we didn’t know we’d need so badly." ROLLING STONE   "Saint Cloud is quite possibly her best to date — an impressive feat, considering that she's built a reputation as one of the most beloved indie rock songwriters of the past decade through a catalog of music that embraces raw and poetic lyrical perspectives, sometimes simultaneously." FADER   "An album positively full of the stuff, a beautiful marvel of Americana songwriting that'll blow you away while taking its sweet time." STEREOGUM   "Sparking acoustic guitars and soulful keyboard tones echo through every track, with Crutchfield’s high, lonesome vocals positioned squarely at the heart of an understated country-rock mix. Her best album." UPROXX   "That’s another reason Saint Cloud could make an especially good quarantine listen: In addition to soothing musical catharsis, it can also provide a bit of vicarious traveling for people stuck at home." ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY "The songwriting remains impeccable. Within 10 seconds, you know—without a doubt—it’s a Waxahatchee album. Yet it’s different from anything she’s ever released before. Saint Cloud is Crutchfield’s country/Americana record. It runs on twang, jangle, truth and wide-open spaces...Saint Cloud is a whole new world."  PASTE MAGAZINE "Elegiac songs expanding the singer/songwriter's catalog to greater horizons than ever." PAPER MAGAZINE "A loose, rootsy and countrified album deals with transformation and sobriety in an oblique yet affecting manner." WALL STREET JOURNAL   "Katie Crutchfield captures the complex feelings of growing up in a way we can all embrace." CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND "Saint Cloud’ is Katie Crutchfield’s best ever." PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER "It’s an understatement to say the songs on Saint Cloud brought joy into our isolation and some Waxahatchee wisdom when we needed it most. For the rest of our lives, we’ll listen to this masterpiece and remember: Waxahatchee made the songs that marked the slow slow passing of time. The songs that helped us all grow up a little." BITTER SOUTHERNER
