Waxahatchee Releases New Song 'Bored'

Waxahatchee shares “Bored,” the new single from her highly anticipated new album, Tigers Blood, out March 22nd on ANTI- Records. The song comes with a rollicking video shot at Devil's Backbone Tavern in Fischer, Texas, directed by Corbett Jones & Nick Simonite. 

Of the song Crutchfield says, “I feel like my comfort zone when writing songs lies somewhere on the emotional spectrum of sadness and heartache. Writing from a place of happiness scares me. Too earnest. Anger scares me even more,” Crutchfield explains. “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.”

Additionally Waxahatchee announces a European tour, expanding on the Tigers Blood tour's previously announced US tour dates. EU tickets go on sale Friday 2/16 at 10 am local time. All dates below.

Waxahatchee announced Tigers Blood last month with a video for “Right Back to It," which Pitchfork named Best New Track, and Rolling Stone called “an Americana burner full of tender twang.” On the album, Crutchfield emerges as a powerhouse – an ethnologist of the self – forever dedicated to revisiting her wins and losses. Tigers Blood also finds Crutchfield folding new collaborators into her world, with performances on the album by MJ Lenderman, Spencer Tweedy and Phil Cook as well as trusted collaborator / producer Brad Cook, whom she also worked with on her groundbreaking album Saint Cloud. 

Crutchfield says that she wrote most of the songs on Tigers Blood during a “hot hand spell” while on tour in 2022. And when it came time to record, Crutchfield returned to her trusted producer Brad Cook and the Sonic Ranch in the border town Tornillo, Texas, a collaborator and place that also helped bring her sound to a groundbreaking turning point on 2020's Saint Cloud.

Saint Cloud was a breakthrough album for Waxahatchee, and despite being released in the height of the pandemic it entered #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart & Top 10 on the Emerging Artist chart. It was a welcome musical escape for many and cemented her status as an important voice in the indie-Americana scene. Now with Tigers Blood we see Crutchfield dig even deeper, the result is a complex and beautiful album that is sure to find a special place in people's hearts once again.
