Waxahatchee 8211 Great Thunder 128221

This EP features a collection of songs written with Katie Crutchfields now-dormant experimental recording group Great Thunder while she was also writing the Waxahatchee albumsCerulean SaltandIvy Tripp. The original recordings have mostly faded into obscurity, but unearthing and reimagining them with producer Brad Cook at Justin Vernons April Base studio in Wisconsin was a cathartic experience, she says. On the heels of last years critically acclaimedOut in the Storm, Crutchfield found herself looking to take a sharp turn away from the more rock-oriented influences of her recent records towards her more folk and country roots. I would say that it is a complete 180 from the last record: super stripped-down, quiet, and with me performing solo, its a throwback to how I started. Great Thunder by Waxahatchee
