Waxahatchee's "Cerulean Salt," released on March 5, 2013, under Don Giovanni Records, is a captivating journey into the heart of alt-country. This compact yet powerful collection of 13 tracks, clocking in at just over 32 minutes, showcases the raw and introspective songwriting of Katie Crutchfield, the driving force behind Waxahatchee. The album opens with the haunting "Hollow Bedroom" and takes you through a landscape of vivid imagery and personal reflection, from the delicate "Dixie Cups and Jars" to the poignant "Brother Bryan." Crutchfield's evocative lyrics and the band's stripped-down, emotive sound create an atmosphere that is both intimate and expansive. "Cerulean Salt" is a testament to Waxahatchee's ability to craft songs that resonate with authenticity and depth, making it a standout in the alt-country genre.
