Waxahatchee, aka the solo project of Kansas City-based singer-songwriter Katie Crutchfield, has announced the arrival of her new album, Tigers Blood, due out on March 22 via ANTI-.

Alongside the news, Crutchfield has shared the new single, Right Back To It, which is accompanied by a stunning swamp-set music video directed by Corbett Jones & Nick Simonite.

Speaking of the new release, she says: "Right Back To It was an early song that came together for Tigers Blood. I wrote it backstage at Wolf Trap when I was on tour opening for Jason Isbell and Sheryl Crow.

"I’m really interested in writing love songs that are gritty and unromantic. I wanted to make a song about the ebb and flow of a longtime love story. 

She continues, "I thought it might feel untraditional but a little more in alignment with my experience to write about feeling insecure or foiled in some way internally, but always finding your way back to a newness or an intimacy with the same person.”

This spring, Waxahatchee will set off on a North American tour in support of the new album, kicking off with a hometown show at Kansas City’s Uptown Theater on April 18. Following shows in Toronto, Boston, Orlando and more, the trek will wrap up on September 7 and 8 with two final performances in Philadelphia.
