Ivy Tripp - Want It All

Ivy Tripp

Katie Crutchfieldâ€™s southern roots are undeniable. The name of her solo musical project Waxahatchee comes from a creek not far from her childhood home in Alabama and seems to represent both where she came from and where sheâ€™s going. Waxahatcheeâ€™s latest record, Ivy Tripp, drifts confidently from its predecessors and brings forth a more informed and powerful recognition of where Crutchfield has currently found herself. The lament and grieving for her youth seem to have been replaced with control and sheer self-honesty. â€œMy life has changed a lot in the last two years, and itâ€™s been hard for me to process my feelings other than by writing songs,â€ says Crutchfield. â€œI think a running theme [of Ivy Tripp] is steadying yourself on shaky ground and reminding yourself that you have control in situations that seem overwhelming, or just being cognizant in moments of deep confusion or sadness, and learning to really feel emotions and to grow from that.â€ Recorded and engineered by Kyle Gilbride of Wherever Audio at Crutchfieldâ€™s home on New Yorkâ€™s Long Islandâ€”with drums recorded in the gym of a local elementary schoolâ€”Ivy Tripp presents a more developed and aged version of Waxahatchee. â€œThe title Ivy Tripp is really just a term I made up for directionless-ness, specifically of the 20-something, 30-something, 40-something of today, lacking regard for the complaisant life path of our parents and grandparents. I have thought of it like this: [Waxahatcheeâ€™s last album] Cerulean Salt is a solid and Ivy Tripp is a gas.â€
