About the album

Katie Crutchfield recorded American Weekend alone at her family's home in Alabama over about a week, mostly with an acoustic guitar and a cheap microphone, and named the project after a creek near where she grew up. Don Giovanni put it out in January 2012, and those raw, close-up songs about love, drinking and staying put became a word-of-mouth favourite among anyone who'd ever written in a journal they hoped nobody would read.

"Catfish", "Grass Stain", "Be Good" and "Noccalula" sound like letters you weren't meant to see, and the plainness is the point. Waxahatchee went on to bigger studios and bigger rooms, but plenty of fans still say this is the one. A bedroom, a guitar and a week off: the recording budget of champions.
