Waxahatchee is an American indie music project, formed in 2010 by the American singer-songwriter Katie Crutchfield. The band is named after Waxahatchee Creek, in Alabama. ==History== While still a member of P.S. Eliot, a band formed with her twin sister Allison, Crutchfield released her first music as Waxahatchee as a split cassette with Chris Clavin on Plan-It-X Records. Her bedroom-recorded debut album, ''American Weekend'', was released on Don Giovanni Records in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2012/06/waxahatchee_pla.html )〕 Crutchfield wrote and recorded the album in one week while at her family home in Birmingham, Alabama.
