Praise for TIGERS BLOOD:
“Katie Crutchfield has one of those voices-rich, effortless, so perfectly suited to her songs-that make it easy to forget just how remarkable it is. Yet her vocals, which swing from earthy to spectral, contain enormous amounts of pathos, boredom, joy, anxiety, resignation, hope.” – The New Yorker, Best Albums of 2024
“A stunning set of easygoing downhome tunes cataloging the travails and charms of mid-30s living” – TIME Magazine, Best Albums of 2024
“The casual confidence, lived-in wisdom and patiently unfurling melodies of Tigers Blood offer a more laid-back kind of gratification that keeps on giving throughout her sixth album.” – New York Times, Best Albums of 2024
“Crutchfield sings with the self-recrimination of a perfectionist, a bearer of high standards who believes her potential is limitless-with each subsequent entry in the Waxahatchee canon, it’s hard not to believe her.” – Pitchfork, Best Albums of 2024
“A master storyteller fully aware she’s on a hot streak. She sings about adult romance, struggling for sobriety, the day-to-day work of holding it together — in the poetic voice of a Lucinda Williams who came of age playing DIY punk-house basement shows.” – Rolling Stone, Best Albums of 2024
“Crutchfield frees herself completely in these rambling yet tightly executed songs.” – NPR, Best Albums of 2024
“In her long, gradual journey into country and folk, Crutchfield has discovered new shades of her already-spectacular voice and new ways to convey serene yearning.” – Stereogum, Best Albums of 2024
“Katie Crutchfield has found a home making glistening, easygoing country music.” – Vulture, Best Songs of 2024
“Such viscerally aching songwriting paired with heartbroken harmonies is a potent combination – and yet, there’s a comfort to ‘Right Back to It’ that keeps listeners, well, coming back to it.” – Billboard, Best Songs of 2024
“If there were a cheat code for creating a modern classic Americana song, Katie Crutchfield found it” – Consequence, Best Albums of 2024
“When the dust settles on the best album of Katie Crutchfield’s career, what we’re left with is the deeply human beauty of Tigers Blood.” – Paste, Best Albums of 2024
“Dizzyingly vulnerable and dazzlingly intimate, Tigers Blood is a staggering release, full of heart, wisdom and freedom” – Holler, Best Albums of 2024
“It’s the kind of song you know you’ll want to play again immediately within the first 60 seconds, and again and again after that.” – UPROXX, Best Songs of 2024
