Americana rager is the second taste from upcoming album Tigers Blood
Waxahatchee has given us another taste of Tigers Blood, her new album out next month.
The new single, “Bored,” is a surge of upbeat Americana — just watch the excited crowd in the video below, recorded at Devil’s Backbone Tavern in Fischer, Texas. “I can get along — my spine’s a rotted two by four,” Katie Crutchfield sings. “Barely hanging on – my benevolence just hits the floor/I get bored.”
“I feel like my comfort zone when writing songs lies somewhere on the emotional spectrum of sadness and heartache,” Crutchfield said of the track. “Writing from a place of happiness scares me. Too earnest. Anger scares me even more. I wrote ‘Bored’ about one of those situations where anger was called for and was the only authentic place from which to write about what I was experiencing. It was a challenge for me, and ‘Bored’ is the end result.”
‘”Bored” is the latest single from Tigers Blood, following the excellent “Right Back to It” featuring MJ Lenderman.
