Saint Cloud by Waxahatchee
Saint Cloud is an album by Waxahatchee, released in 2020. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 26 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Lilacs”, on 14 lists with a best position of #10.
Saint Cloud, the fifth Waxahatchee album, came out on Merge on March 27, 2020, just as the pandemic slammed the world's doors, which meant Katie Crutchfield couldn't take it on the road until 2021. It deserved a better launch. Crutchfield, who named the project after the Alabama creek she grew up by and started it as an acoustic solo thing, now works with a full band, and here she leans all the way into alt-country and Americana.
The songs breathe: warm, unhurried arrangements, a voice with a little twang and a lot of steadiness, and a mellow glow that critics fell for across the board. "Lilacs", "Fire" and "Can't Do Much" carry the load, plainspoken and quietly devastating.
