Check out this joyous news: Allison Crutchfield is now Team Merge! Crutchfield has been writing and performing fantastic songs over the years, most notably in her co-founding projects Swearin' and P.S. Eliot. Lately she's been part of the Waxahatchee live band and self-released the Lean In To It EP, but 2017 will see the release of her first proper full-length.

Allison had this to say about the occasion: "Signing with Merge was always sort of a fantasy milestone in my mind, like winning an Oscar or opening a bakery in New England. It was something I dreamed about a hundred times as a teenager but never thought could actually happen. I've been fortunate enough to really get to know the Merge family over the last year, and now that I'm a grown-up, I'm so grateful to be able to call Merge home."
