Waxahatchee - Cerulean Salt
Don Giovanni, 2013
Katie Crutchfield used Cerulean Salt to launch her career at Merge Records, releasing a couple of solid indie rock records in 2015’s Ivy Tripp and 2017’s Out of the Storm, but her breakout Cerulean Salt, which sounds like bedroom demos in comparison, is the one that still sticks with me. It’s so intimate and imperfect in the best way. Crutchfield’s voice constantly sounds at the verge of falling apart and it gives these songs so much life. From desperate and hushed tracks like "Brother Bryan" and "Swan Dive" to big, anthemic rockers like "Coast to Coast" and "Misery Over Dispute," Cerulean Salt excels at capturing the artist's raw power before refinement.
