Waxahatchee (aka Katie Crutchfield) has announced a new album, Tigers Blood, and shared its first single, “Right Back to It,” which features MJ Lenderman. She’s also announced some new tour dates. Tigers Blood is due out March 22 via ANTI-. Corbett Jones and Nick Simonite directed the “Right Back to It” video. Watch it below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover artwork, as well as the tour dates.

Crutchfield had this to say about “Right Back to It” in a press release: “I wrote it backstage at Wolf Trap when I was on tour opening for Jason Isbell and Sheryl Crow. I’m really interested in writing love songs that are gritty and unromantic. I wanted to make a song about the ebb and flow of a longtime love story. I thought it might feel untraditional but a little more in alignment with my experience to write about feeling insecure or foiled in some way internally, but always finding your way back to a newness or an intimacy with the same person.”

Tigers Blood follows Saint Cloud, which was #6 on our Top 100 Albums of 2020 list. In 2022 Crutchfield teamed up with Jess Williamson to form Plains and release their debut album, I Walked With You A Ways, via ANTI-.

The new album also features Spencer Tweedy, alongside Phil and Brad Cook. Brad Cook produced the album, which was recorded at the Sonic Ranch in the border town Tornillo, Texas. Brad Cook also worked on Saint Cloud at the same studio.
