Katie Crutchfield, as Waxahatchee, makes music that is beautifully simple and full of echoes of a ‘90s indie rock songwriters from the deep, rich tones of her distorted guitar to the home-made feel of her double tracked vocals. But Waxahatchee’s not just some nostalgia trip, as Crutchfield has proved herself a powerfully intimate songwriter over the course of three albums under her stage name, as well as with Birmingham (Alabama) punks P.S. Eliot. Her most recent release, Ivy Tripp, is a fine continuation of that tradition.
