This time last year, as a pandemic was sweeping the globe and people were locking themselves inside their homes, Waxahatchee released Saint Cloud, a career-defining album. Saint Cloud was a reminder that better times would indeed return, and it was the record so many of us needed, released at exactly the time we needed it the most. 

Today, one year later, Waxahatchee is giving Saint Cloud a special digital reissue—dubbed Saint Cloud +3—that contains the original album plus three new cover songs. Listen to Katie Crutchfield tackle “Fruits of My Labor” by Lucinda Williams, “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” by Dolly Parton, and “Streets of Philadelphia” by Bruce Springsteen!

“A talisman of the self-isolation era… Saint Cloud evokes a sense of freedom and belonging that has been elusive in this era of constraint and distance.” —The New Yorker

“Confident and accomplished.” —New York Times, Critic’s Pick

“Some of Crutchfield’s most poetic lyrics.” —NPR

“With a shift in tone and tempo, Katie Crutchfield creates a vivid modern classic of folk and Americana. It’s the sound of a cherished songwriter thawing out under the sun.” —Pitchfork, Best New Music

“Some of Crutchfield’s sharpest songs to date.” —Billboard

“The best album of her career.” —Vogue

“The kind of country comfort we didn’t know we’d need so badly.” —Rolling Stone

“Saint Cloud is quite possibly her best to date—an impressive feat, considering that she’s built a reputation as one of the most beloved indie rock songwriters of the past decade through a catalog of music that embraces raw and poetic lyrical perspectives, sometimes simultaneously.” —The Fader

“An album positively full of the stuff, a beautiful marvel of Americana songwriting that’ll blow you away while taking its sweet time.” —Stereogum

“Sparking acoustic guitars and soulful keyboard tones echo through every track, with Crutchfield’s high, lonesome vocals positioned squarely at the heart of an understated country-rock mix. Her best album.” —Uproxx

“That’s another reason Saint Cloud could make an especially good quarantine listen: In addition to soothing musical catharsis, it can also provide a bit of vicarious traveling for people stuck at home.” —Entertainment Weekly

“Elegiac songs expanding the singer/songwriter’s catalog to greater horizons than ever.” —Paste

“A loose, rootsy and countrified album deals with transformation and sobriety in an oblique yet affecting manner.” —Wall Street Journal
