Product Details
Recorded alone in her childhood home in Birmingham, Alabama, *American Weekend* arrived as one of indie rock's most quietly devastating debut statements. Katie Crutchfield's acoustic confessionals drew immediate comparisons to the bedroom folk and lo-fi traditions of the early 2000s, and the album's reputation has only grown in the years since, earning the kind of word-of-mouth devotion usually reserved for records that take decades to find their audience.
Katie Crutchfield, under the name Waxahatchee, made her debut album during a snowstorm in the winter of 2012. She dedicated it "to anyone who had woke up and realized their identity is blurry, has had to clumsily get to know themselves, has hit a bottom, has felt self-deprecating and vagrant, and to anyone who has ridden out a shitstorm."She called it American Weekend. She means "American Weekend" in the same wide way that Kurt Cobain means "Teen Spirit," less social construct than natural phenomenon. This is a lo-fi masterpiece in the league of Lou Barlow and the Softies. We should consider it a descendent of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska, or else temper it no lower than Essential Listening.
