Gig review: Waxahatchee at Brudenell Social Club, Leeds

Recording her debut in her family home on solo acoustic guitar, she’s gone on to flesh out her folk-punk with a growing personnel over the course of four albums. Last year’s Out In The Storm, which featured her twin sister Allison and Sleater-Kinney collaborator Katie Harkin, was her most polished and musically robust to date.

When she takes to the stage for a solo version of ‘Chapel Of Pines’, however, it sounds like a throw-back to her earlier recordings. The strummed country track, originally released by her side project Great Thunder, has an intimacy that’s almost uncomfortable to hear when she rhetorically asks, “What am I supposed to be fighting for?”
