Snocaps, ‘Wasteland’

Snocaps

The Crutchfield sisters — Katie from Waxahatchee and Allison from Swearin’ — reactivate their wonder-twin powers for Snocaps, the first project they’ve done together in years, in a delightful surprise album, with MJ Lenderman and Brad Cook as (mostly) silent team players. “Wasteland” is an adult break-up song with years of anguish behind it. They played one of the year’s best gigs in NYC, dipping into songs from their teen years when they were playing DIY gigs as P.S. Eliot.  “We’d like to take it back to the days of 2012,” Katie said, adjusting her guitar. “The higher the capo, the older the song.”
