HALF WAIF EXPLORES NEW LIFE, LOSS AND MISCARRIAGE ON NEW ALBUM ‘SEE YOU AT THE MAYPOLE’ (OUT OCTOBER 4)

Genre: Art-Pop, Dream-Pop

See You At The Maypole––the sixth studio album from Half Waif aka Nandi Rose––was originally intended as a departure from her darker works. Where 2021’s Mythopoetics dealt with familial traumas and the patterns we carry with us, Rose––armed with the anticipation of planning her own family––envisioned a new collection of soft and joyous odes to motherhood and to new beginnings. That writing sparked in the summer of 2021 at a solo retreat in the Catskills, as melodies formed in a small cabin overlooking a luscious and rain-rippled pond. A month later, Rose found out she was pregnant and anticipated nine months of writing through a new, maternal lens, speckled with the verdure of certainty. But when a soundless morning arrived in December, See You At The Maypole took on a new life, one that would seize the uncomfortable reigns of uncertainty.
