Half Waif Unveils ‘See You At The Maypole’— A Journey Through Loss and Restoration

Mark your calendars for an auditory journey that promises to touch upon the deepest human emotions: Half Waif’s sixth studio album, ‘See You At The Maypole’, is officially set to grace our ears on 4th October through the illustrious label ANTI-. Nandi Rose orchestrates a harmonious departure from her prior darker themed compositions, embarking on a transformative sonic path marked by personal heartache and the universal experience of loss.
Leading the album, the single ‘Figurine’ emerges as a beacon of tenderness and resilience. Accompanying the single is a beautifully articulated video, directed by Derrick Belcham, which is embellished with the evocative choreography by Kora Radella.
In the throes of despairing events such as miscarriage, Rose’s lyrics in ‘Figurine’ resonate as a universal hymn to those who have navigated the somber sea of loss. She voices not only her narrative but becomes a mouthpiece for the silent stories of losing and the subsequent journey of renewal.
Half Waif tactfully blends enveloping soundscapes with raw human vulnerability, attempting to string together a lifeline between the act of mourning and the will to move forward. As Rose herself puts it, this collection of songs is more than a personal catharsis. It’s an invitation to listeners: a shared space to nurse wounds and harbor hopes anew.
