Saint Cloud (album)
''Saint Cloud'' is the fifth studio album by American indie rock act Waxahatchee, released on March 27, 2020, by Merge Records. Background Waxahatchee frontwoman Katie Crutchfield described the album's main themes as "addiction and codependency". Much of ''Saint Cloud'' was inspired by her struggles with alcoholism, which came to a fore during the promotional tour for Waxahatchee's '' Out in the Storm'' (2017), and subsequent decision to get sober. Crutchfield titled the album and its titular song after her father's hometown of St. Cloud, Florida, a small community outside of Orlando. Critical reception Robert Christgau reviewed the album in his Substack-published "Consumer Guide" column in July 2020. While suggesting that the "recovery songs" toward the album's end recount life experiences not relatable for the average listener, he applauded Crutchfield's performance through the opening series of "love/relationship/self-knowledge songs", with "her guitar parts echoing readymade ...

Waxahatchee Creek
Waxahatchee Creek is a tributary of the lower Coosa River near Shelby, Alabama. It forms the southeastern border between Shelby County and Chilton County, where it is crossed by Alabama State Route 145. The lower reaches of Waxahatchee Creek are broad and popular with water skiers and recreational boaters. Several resort camps and marinas are located on the creek, and anglers have found the submerged forests of the middle to upper creek are favorite spots for largemouth bass.
