Katie & Allison Crutchfield - “Oblivion” (Grimes cover)

The Crutchfield sisters, who used to play together in PS Eliot, covered Grimes’ Visions standout “Oblivion” for the terrific teen girl website Rookie Mag. I read this site more than I probably should. Katie Crutchfield now records as Waxahatchee, while her sister Allison’s focus lies with Swearin’.

In case you missed this yesterday, I’m putting out a new full length album in 2 weeks on May 24th. Read about it here and follow this blog for more of my music:

chris-cappello:

MY NEW ALBUM DROPS ON MAY 24th 2013, TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY.

As you probably know by now, it’s called Could Be Bitter Forever. That’s the thematically appropriate, self-absorbed cover art above. It will be available to stream and download on my BANDCAMP PAGE for FREE online at MIDNIGHT on 5/24. My band and I recorded it over the past four months at The Mannor in Wallingford, Connecticut with Ian Bates of Manners. I’m incredibly proud of how well this album turned out, and I look forward to hearing what you all think about it.

In addition to my contributions as songwriter, the record features a host of supplementary musicians and vocalists including some of my best friends. Could Be Bitter Forever is by far the most ambitious art project I have ever taken on, and it sounds better to me than I could have possibly expected, thanks largely to the work of the incredibly talented people who helped me make it. Check out the tracklist below and please reblog!

Left of the Dial Radio Show: 6-8 PM on WNHU:

Tune in now to catch a live broadcast of my radio show Left of the Dial on WNHU! Guest DJ Ruth Douglas will be joining me for some lovely commentary and potential song selection, or maybe she won’t say anything during the entire two hour show because everybody who comes on the radio with me gets really nervous. Whatever!

Tonight’s playlist includes new cuts from Vampire Weekend (the new album is great!) Mikal Cronin (wonderful!) and So So Glos (loud and angry!). It should be a terrific show.

Fee free to leave any and all requests in my ask box. The full playlist will be up tomorrow. Thanks for listening!
