IVY TRIPP (DLCD)

Vinyl LP pressing. 2015 album from Katie Crutchfield AKA Waxahatchee. The follow up to 2013's critically lauded Cerulean Salt, Ivy Tripp drifts confidently from it's predecessor and displays a more informed and powerful recognition of where Crutchfield currently finds herself. The previous themes of loss of youth and coming of age have been replaced with self-control and sheer honesty. Recorded and engineered by Kyle Gilbride of Wherever Audio at Crutchfield's home on New York's Long Island - with drums recorded in the gym of a local elementary school - Ivy Tripp presents a more developed and grown up version of Waxahatchee.
