American Weekend by Waxahatchee
A collection of minimal acoustic-guitar pop about relationships and transience, written and recorded in a week at Katie’s family’s Alabama home. “I don’t care if I’m too young to be unhappy,” she sings on “Grass Stain.” That lyric sort of sums up this entire album. It’s the kind of record you want to simultaneously keep all to yourself and share with everyone you’ve ever met.

Katie Crutchfield’s southern roots are undeniable. The name of her solo musical project Waxahatchee comes from a creek not far from her childhood home in Alabama and seems to represent both where she came from and where she’s going.
