Twin sisters Katie and Allison Crutchfield have teamed up with MJ Lenderman and Brad Cook to form a new group they are calling Snocaps. They’ve just dropped their self-titled debut album.

The debut project includes 13 new tracks that mark their first collaboration since they formed the American pop-punk band, P.S. Eliot, in 2007 in Alabama. At that time, they released two records, 2009’s Introverted Romance in Our Troubled Minds and 2011’s Sadie.

Now, the new indie-rock project fuses the best of the pair; Katie’s early works as Waxahatchee are amalgamated with the tinge of Allison’s previous work in her band, Swearin’.

The album was produced and almost entirely engineered by Cook, and all four musicians play multiple instruments across the record.

According to Stereogum, the group has a small number of live shows planned for the end of this year before they will press pause on the new group indefinitely. More information about live performances is expected imminently.

Far Out gave Waxahatchee’s last album, Tigers and Blood, three stars, observing, “The record doesn’t deserve to pass you by, but it just might. A matured return to her Alabama roots, Tigers Blood contains some of Crutchfield’s most devastating and dazzling penmanship, as well as a lucrative collaboration with Wednesday’s MJ Lenderman. Unfortunately, the harshness and honesty of her imagery get lost amidst unvaried instrumentation.”

Meanwhile, Far Out awarded MJ Lenderman’s 2024 album, Manning Fireworks, four-and-a-half stars, deeming it ‘Album of the Week’: “From the imaginative wordplay to the towering solos Lenderman delivers, on Manning Fireworks, the Wednesday guitarist decisively displays his creative power and gilds a record that will undoubtedly go down as one of the year’s best.”
