This week, Waxahatchee teams up with MJ Lenderman for a moment of timeless alt-country bliss.
Love is not always something that makes you lose control; As Waxahatchee says, even the most secure relationship can make you anticipate disaster in the midst of its stillness. And “Right Back to It,” the banjo-embellished lead single from Katie Crutchfield’s upcoming album. tiger blood, It is an anthem for the anxiously attached.
Crutchfield says “Right Back to It” is “about the ebb and flow of a long love story,” and hers begins with memories of nervously biting her tongue in front of someone whose affection feels as available and attractive as a check in white hanging. around her neck. Even as this partnership is established, Crutchfield is still fighting his own unfounded worries; Hell, even the metaphorical eggshells she tiptoes around in are ones she herself has presented.
“I let my mind go crazy/I don't know why I do it,” Crutchfield sings in the chorus, and you can almost hear her laughing at herself over Wednesday's guitarist MJ Lenderman's cloying vocal harmonies. Maybe your soulmate isn't the person who makes those worries go away completely, but rather the person who can't wait to get back to you despite all of them.
