Waxahatchee shares ‘365‘, the latest single from her highly anticipated new album, Tigers Blood, out March 22nd on ANTI- Records. The song, which features a phenomenal vocal performance, is released alongside a gorgeous one-shot music video directed by frequent collaborators Corbett Jones & Nick Simonite. “‘365’ is a song about codependency as it pertains to addiction and relationships with addicts. It’s something I’ve dealt with a lot in my life and I really wanted to distill the nerves and emotions down to their purest form in this song,” Katie Crutchfield explains. “Brad Cook and I had a lot of ideas we tried for this one, but in the end, we tracked it live just him, Jake Lenderman and myself running the song a couple of times together in the room.”
On Tigers Blood, Crutchfield emerges as a powerhouse – an ethnologist of the self – forever dedicated to revisiting her wins and losses. Tigers Blood also finds Crutchfield folding new collaborators into her world, with performances on the album by MJ Lenderman, Spencer Tweedy and Phil Cook as well as trusted collaborator / producer Brad Cook, whom she also worked with on her groundbreaking album Saint Cloud.
Crutchfield says that she wrote most of the songs on Tigers Blood during a “hot hand spell” while on tour in 2022. And when it came time to record, Crutchfield returned to her trusted producer Brad Cook and the Sonic Ranch in the border town Tornillo, Texas, a collaborator and place that also helped bring her sound to a groundbreaking turning point on 2020’s Saint Cloud.
