Jul 17, 2018 Waxahatchee By Christopher Roberts

Waxahatchee (aka Katie Crutchfield) has announced a new EP, Great Thunder, and shared a video for its first single, “Chapel of Pines.” The video features Kevin Morby (although he does not sing on the song). Great Thunder is due out September 7 via Merge. Check out the “Chapel of Pines” video below, followed by the EP’s tracklist and cover art, as well as Waxahatchee’s upcoming tour dates.

Waxahatchee’s last album, Out in the Storm, came out last year via Merge. It was our Album of the Week.

Crutchfield had this to say about the EP in a press release: “I would say that it is a complete 180 from the last record: super stripped-down, quiet, and with me performing solo, it’s a throwback to how I started. Overall, the EP is a warm, kind of vibey recording.”

The EP features songs Crutchfield originally wrote with the former experimental music group Great Thunder while she was also recording the Waxahatchee albums Cerulean Salt and Ivy Tripp. Crutchfield re-imagined the songs them with producer Brad Cook at Justin Vernon’s April Base studio in Wisconsin.
