Merge Records

Merge Records is an independent record label based in Durham, North Carolina. Founded in 1989 by Laura Ballance and Mac McCaughan, it started as a platform to release music from their band Superchunk and their friends' creations. Over the years, Merge Records has grown to include talented artists from all over the world, with some of their records even reaching the top of the Billboard music charts.
With its headquarters nestled in Durham, North Carolina, Merge Records has become a renowned name in the music industry. The label was established by Laura Ballance and Mac McCaughan back in 1989 with a vision to share their own musical endeavors as well as support fellow musicians within their circle.
What began as a humble endeavor quickly flourished into something much greater. Today, Merge Records boasts an impressive roster of artists spanning various genres and backgrounds. From indie rock to experimental pop, *Superchunk* paved the way for other talented musicians to join forces under this esteemed label's umbrella.

Waxahatchee is an indie rock/folk project formed by Katie Crutchfield in 2010. Named after Waxahatchee Creek in Alabama, USA, the project showcases Crutchfield's raw and introspective songwriting. With a unique blend of heartfelt lyrics and melodic guitar-driven soundscapes, Waxahatchee has gained critical acclaim for their honest and evocative music.
Since its inception, Waxahatchee has released several albums that have resonated with fans worldwide. From the intimate and confessional "American Weekend" to the more polished and expansive "Ivy Tripp," each release showcases Crutchfield's growth as a songwriter and musician.
With their captivating live performances, Waxahatchee has toured extensively across North America and Europe, building a dedicated fanbase along the way. Their music speaks to those who appreciate authenticity and vulnerability in art, making them a standout presence in the indie rock/folk scene.

Back In Stock

This EP features a collection of songs written with Katie Crutchfield’s now-dormant experimental recording group Great Thunder while she was also writing the Waxahatchee albums Cerulean Salt and Ivy Tripp. The original recordings have mostly faded into obscurity, but unearthing and reimagining them with producer Brad Cook at Justin Vernon’s April Base studio in Wisconsin was a cathartic experience, she says. On the heels of last year’s critically acclaimed Out in the Storm, Crutchfield found herself looking to take a sharp turn away from the more rock-oriented influences of her recent records towards her more folk and country roots. “I would say that it is a complete 180 from the last record: super stripped-down, quiet, and with me performing solo, it’s a throwback to how I started.”
