 Texas-born and Oklahoma City-based fingerstyle guitarist Hayden Pedigo presents his remarkable and genre-defying new album ‘I’ll Be Waving As You Drive Away’ via Mexican Summer, pressed onto Silverado Brown coloured vinyl.
 Since the release of his 2023 record, ‘The Happiest Times I Ever Ignored’, Pedigo earned
widespread critical acclaim, performed a stunning NPR Tiny Desk Concert, toured non-stop with the likes of Jenny Lewis, Devendra Banhart and Hiss Golden Messenger, and more. He then decamped on a 20,000-acre ranch at an artist residency in Wyoming to write his new album, which he’d later record in Ojai with Scott Hirsch and name for a “pretty devastating” episode of ‘Little House on the Prairie’ from 1978.
 The resulting album, ‘I’ll Be Waving As You Drive Away’, is the final instalment of what Pedigo has dubbed ‘The Motor Trilogy’ - his three latest solo albums, tied together by their vehicular Jonathan Phillips artwork.
 An innovator of the instrumental genre, challenger of the stereotypical and son of a truck-stop preacher, Pedigo has crafted an intentionally maximalist, genre-resistant work of warped instrumental Americana on this release, which he calls “a micro-dose psychedelic album… as if somebody had cut up a tab of LSD and put on a Fahey record.”
