A year ago Jessica Louise Dye met Nashville’s resident weirdo Taylor Rust passing through on tour with her old band. The two kept in contact, singing each other songs on Skype and writing one another haikus from afar. While on tour this spring with her new band High Waisted, Dye spent two days in Nashville, playing shows, eating Mas Tacos, and visiting with Rust.
On a chilly spring morning in a haunted house in east Nashville, Dye, Rust and the rest of the members of High Waisted dropped acid.
As the sweet tarts dissolved onto their tongues, the group hung a single room mic and let their instruments melt into their bodies. Rust pressed record on an old reel to reel and the band created their debut release, Acid Tapes, Vol. 1.
Dye sent us an advance release of the cassette with a note reading “…best listened to while high waisted…”
