In the Courtyard with Midget and Hairs

Midget and Hairs is one of the earliest Elephant 6 recording projects to emerge from Ruston, Louisiana, as singer/songwriter Paige Dearman, with assistance from members of Neutral Milk Hotel, The Apples in Stereo, and The Olivia Tremor Control, set her hypnogogic hallucinations to fuzzy cassettes and scratchy vinyl. But a full-length never materialized, and her material quickly became hard-to-find collectibles. In this Optical Atlas interview, Adam Schragin catches up with Paige in Austin to trace the origins of Midget and Hairs, as well as her newest band, Exhibit B Static Shade. Rare MP3s included!
