There’s a Waxahatchee-inspired ice cream

Waxahatchee’s superb third album ‘Ivy Tripp’ is out this week and while that’s good news indeed, Little Baby’s Ice Cream company have decided to sweeten the deal by releasing a signature Ice Cream flavour, Waxahatchee Ivy Tripp Jordan Almond.

Writing on their website, the company welcomes you “to what might be our first band/album flavor collaboration,” before going on to explain their reasoning behind it.

“Katie Crutchfield, the Alabama-born, West Philadelphia musician and songwriter who fronts rock super-group Waxahatchee, has held a place in Little Baby’s hearts for quite a while now. She played at the opening of World Headquarters on Frankford Avenue back in 2012. While opening our Cedar Park Embassy in West Philadelphia, Waxahatchee was in a basement only a few blocks away recording 2013’s internationally acclaimed sophomore release, Cerulean Salt. Now, Waxahatchee is releasing their third full-length, Ivy Tripp, April 7th on Merge Records with a limited edition ice cream flavor: Waxahatchee Ivy Tripp Jordan Almond.”

They then get onto the good bit - the ice cream.

“Jordan almonds are those little pastel-colored candy-covered almonds you might find in your easter basket or at a wedding reception. Why Jordan almonds? Because that’s the flavor Katie asked us to make. Jordan almonds are a little bitter, a little sweet and once you start eating them you can’t stop. We think that fits Waxahatchee’s aesthetic perfectly.”

“It will be available at the concessions at Union Transfer during Waxahatchee’s show next Wednesday April 8th and at both our World Headquarters and Cedar Park Embassy locations starting Friday April 10th while supplies last.”

‘Ivy Tripp’ is Waxahatchee’s third album, and in the words of Katie Crutchfield, speaking to DIY, “It’s about the general directionless of life, especially for people in their twenties, thirties and beyond. It’s an observation of that. It’s resisting that weird conformity and realising that everyone’s kinda unhappy but ultimately, it doesn’t really matter.”
