Waxahatchee: "Swan Dive," Soundcheck Live In Austin

On a crisp spring morning in Austin, Texas during South By Southwest, Waxahatchee's Katie Crutchfield reworked one of her new songs -- the stunning "Swan Dive" -- paring it back to simply an electric guitar and her un-mic'd vocals. The result is a heart-wrenching and earnest performance that provided a moment of quiet reflection and beauty.

I have been looking for Waxahatchee videos since hearing St. Cloud album and becoming a life long fan. Amazingly subtle, but powerful performance of a beautiful song.

Is it me or were the birds joining in?

[@TimYoungMusic]

If you like this you really need to check out Mary Lou Lord.
She has to have been an influence here.

[@dbuschhorn]

Was that her, on NPR? Loved that interview!!!

[@JasonKatsanis]

Can we take up a collection and buy a steadicam for the camera operator? This is making me queasy.

[@jimjones8268]

She made the birds sing :) love it,

PS Eliot reunion please

[@mikebee02]

Nice lyrics, but the music part of it is kind of stale and played out. Was surprised this one wasn't as good as the other stuff I've heard from her.
