Check out the track and newly-shared dates below.Arriving today (February 14), the new single marks the second teaser of Katie Crutchfield’s new album, ‘Tigers Blood’ – her sixth LP and follow-up to 2020’s ‘St.

Cloud’. Set to arrive on March 22, it also marks her first release under her new label home, ANTI-.In the new country-inspired track, it is MJ Lenderman’s guitar and Nick Bockrath’s pedal steel that take the reins, as Crutchfield shares her stunning vocal melodies over the top.“Take it easy, honey/ Catch me toeing the line/ Lost in a role I play/ Stuck in a video game/ Armed with a safety pin/ Overly confident, my skin is airy thin/ But my game is rigged to win,” she sings at the start.Check out the song below, as well as the Corbett Jones-directed music video, which sees Waxahatchee perform at the Devil’s Backbone Tavern in Texas.“I feel like my comfort zone when writing songs lies somewhere on the emotional spectrum of sadness and heartache.

Writing from a place of happiness scares me. Too earnest. Anger scares me even more,” said Crutchfield of the new track.“I wrote ‘Bored’ about one of those situations where anger was called for and was the only authentic place from which to write about what I was experiencing.

It was a challenge for me and ‘Bored’ is the end result.”As well as dropping the new song, the Alabama-born, Kansas City-based singer has also shared details of a tour across the UK and Europe.Set to kick off later this year, the new dates come as an expansion to her previously announced ‘Tigers Blood’ tour, which will start with a North American leg and an opening night in the singer’s Kansas City.
