Now Playing… WAXAHATCHEE And Her Enchanting 10-Year Old Album ‘CERULEAN SALT’

5 March 2023

WAXAHATCHEE is the moniker of the wonderful Alabama songstress Katie Crutchfield
who released her 2nd praised album 10 years ago today, on 5 March 2023.

Pitchfork said: “Cerulean Salt, Crutchfield’s new album, is going to be heard. But from
its opening moments, you get the sense that she’s ready for it, the newfound assurance, steadiness, and clarity of her voice immediately obvious… It’s that blazingly honest, hyper-personal quality that places Cerulean Salt in the tradition of Elliott Smith, early Cat Power,
or Liz Phair’s free-flowing Girlysound tapes– the work of a songwriter skilled enough to make introspection seem not self-centered, but generous.” Score: 8.5/10.

Enchanting.

Sheffield noise turbo BRING ME THE HORIZON unleashed their 7th longplayer called POSTHUMAN HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR today. A raging wall-of-psych-out slam dunks. An unstoppable torrent of earsplitting clamor and in-your-face uppercuts. No mercy, no noise boundaries, no rest for the wicked.

It’s already 17 years – 21 October 2003 – since emotive singer/songwriter ELLIOTT SMITH took his own life. He was only 34. He was born in Ohama, Nebraska in 1969, but spend most of his life in Portland, Oregon.

After playing in a few bands he went his own way. He made 5 albums between 1994 and 2000. Now playing on my stereo is his final LP Figure 8. A varied, melancholic beauty…
