Background

The Snocaps project marks the first time the Crutchfield twins had recorded music together since the split of their previous band, PS Eliot. It also marks Allison Crutchfield's first new music in seven years, following the release of the fourth Swearin' album Fall Into the Sun in 2018. In a post to her Substack newsletter, Katie Crutchfield noted that she and Alison had initially broached the idea of a new project in 2023, prior to the release of the Waxahatchee album Tigers Blood . She wrote that the sisters were interested in "making something akin to what we made when we were younger" with "no ambitions and no plan, purely for our own enjoyment, for the experience of making something we ourselves wanted to hear." The album was recorded with Cook and Lenderman over the course of a week, with Katie describing the experience as "realigning with the earliest, purest versions of our music-making selves". ^[5]
