Kacey Musgraves talked about the guided psychedelic trip that inspired her new album on the podcast A Slight Change of Plans, hosted by Dr. Maya Shankar. Their conversation also includes two snippets of new songs from the follow-up to Musgraves’ Grammy-winning Golden Hour.
Musgraves’ guided LSD trip has been a part of the narrative around the upcoming project, which hasn’t been officially announced. Musical accompaniment — from Bach to shamanic chants to the Beatles — was a part of the experience, and curated in a way that those feelings and memories can be accessed again later.
