Waxahatchee - Tiger’s Blood (March 22, 2024) • Page 6

Adrianne Lenker and Katie Crutchfield on the same exact day is basically heaven for me.

 

I remember Saint Cloud being so immediately unimpeachable. You get through “Oxbow” which is a cool misdirection, and then you get the 4 great singles and go hmm maybe this thing will be front loaded and then you get two trilogies of incredible runs. An uptempo run of Hell>Witches>War and then the slow down of Arkadelphia>Ruby Falls>St. Cloud. Somehow each set of songs is better than the last.

 

Was The Eye a single? Maybe it wasn’t. Can’t remember.

 

I don't have any idea what songs were singles besides Lilacs but all the songs are great

 

My record finally shipped! Not going to be here until Saturday though but that’s better timing than my usual preorders lol

 

That Stereogum write up is great.

 

The last 3 songs on SC is just an insane run

 

Teared up just 20 seconds in. We are off to a great start.

 

Damn, Crimes of the Heart.

 

Yep, that one stopped me in my tracks the first time I heard it

 

Tomorrow is my Barbenheimer.

 

Except they’re doing extremely similar things haha

 

Haha I know, after I made the joke I was like yea this doesn’t work, but was too lazy to change/clarify.

Folkenstein? Is this something?

 

Need to wait for this baseball game to end first before I give it a listen.

 

the opener is just so damn good

 

Yeah, 3 Sisters is a damn good opener.

 

This is a solid 1a/b to Mannequin Pussy for early AOTY contenders.

 

I need this on my phone for my afternoon walk today.

 

Not surprisingly, I am already in love with this.

 

I am so excited for tomorrow.

 

Anyone have any inside info or speculation on why she's playing her record release show in Chicago? Not that I'm complaining.

 

So it's part of a sober concert series that was started in January this year. Lala Lala played the Empty Bottle earlier this year as part of it. They still sell alcohol at the show but promote the mocktails. That's the best connection I can make.

 

Got the shipping notification yesterday for my signed vinyl. Looks like it won't arrive til next week. Excited nonetheless!

 

Early standouts including singles:

3 Sisters, Ice Cold, Right Back To It, Lone Star Lake, Crimes Of The Heart, 365, Tigers Blood

Edit: Adding The Wolves to the list.
