Waxahatchee - Cerulean Salt (Cerulean Vinyl) Cassette First Two Pages of FrankensteinThe strength of 'Cerulean Salt' lies in the simplicity and purity of its songs, with melodies that immediately penetrate alongside Katie Crutchfield's frank vocal delivering devastating, straight from the heart lyrics backed by lacerating guitars and slouchy basslines.
