Half Waif, the alt-pop musical project of Nandi Rose Plunkett, signed to Cascine last year and will be releasing her new EP form/a on 24th February 2017. When announcing the new EP, she said: “There’s an inherent restlessness in the way that I write and think about sound. I’m the daughter of a refugee, and somewhere in me is this innate story of searching for a home. As a result, I have many – a collection of places that I latch onto, that inspire me, that fuse themselves to me. I’m sentimental, nostalgic – yet constantly seeking what’s next, excavating the sound of my past and coloring it to make the sound of my future.”
After sharing a trailer for form/a a couple of months ago, she’s now shared the single ‘Severed Logic.’ Starting off as a mellow, contemplative electronic number, its wobbly yet swooning synths are soon joined by stabs of bass, poppy melodies and danceable R&B beats. Listen below.
