High Waisted will be releasing their second album in May, ‘Sick of Saying Sorry’. With some help with some close mates during the recording of it, frontwoman Jessica Louise Dye and drummer Jono Bernstein are ready to put out some party rock! Here they are talking about how a podcast about 70’s music has influenced the new record and how current current single ‘Drive’ was made!
How are you guys copping with isolation and the virus? Hope you are all safe and well!
“We’re missing getting to see each other and jamming but overall, hanging in there, and definitely staying safe.”
New single ‘Drive’ is so beautiful! How was it written? And is the single a good representation of the upcoming record?
“Thank you, it’s our favorite track. It came together like trying to remember a dream. There are lots of intimate moments hidden on the new record.”
How would you describe Sick Of Saying Sorry? Due to come out on 22nd May isn’t it?
“Yep, May 22, 2020! SOSS sounds like summer, long drives and getting a hug from a close friend.”
What music were you listening to when recoding the LP? Who would say are your biggest influences?
“We listened to a weekly podcast called Reverberation Radio. We first found it on Tumblr, and looked forward to it every Wednesday. it’s an amazing curation of deep cuts, 70’s rock and roll, world music and everything in between. It’s the best kept secret that shouldn’t be a secret!”
Looking back on your first album, On Ludlow, what did you learn from touring the record and how does it feel playing those songs 4 years later?
“I’m not the person who once wrote those songs, but with time (and new found wisdom from making lots of mistakes) I’ve learned to find new meaning in them. They make me nostalgic for cities we’ve played, friends we’ve lost and a very special time of being young in NYC.”
There’s some really cool, indie music coming from New York, how would you describe the music from NYC that’s about currently.
“It’s limitless, loud, and unstoppable.”
Sick Of Saying Sorry is out 22nd May on Learn To Records
