Written immediately in the period following her decision to get sober- the album is an unflinching self-examination. This raw exposed narrative terrain is aided by a shift in sonic arrangements as well. While her last two records featured the kind of big guitars well-honed noise and battering sounds that characterized her Philadelphia scene and strongly influenced a burgeoning new class of singer-songwriters Saint Cloud strips back those layers to create space for Crutchfield's voice and lyrics. The result is a classic Americana sound with modern touches befitting an artist who has emerged as one of the signature storytellers of her time. - - Over the course of Saint Cloud's 11 songs which were recorded and produced by Brad Cook (Bon Iver) Crutchfield peels back the distortion of electric guitars to create a wider sonic palette than on any previous Waxahatchee album. It is a record filled with nods to classic country folk-inspired tones and distinctly modern touches. - - 1 Oxbow - 2 Can't Do Much - 3 Fire - 4 Lilacs - 5 The Eye - 6 Hell - 7 Witches - 8 War - 9 Arkadelphia - 10 Ruby Falls - 11 St. Cloud
