Half Waif, aka Pinegrove's Nandi Rose Plunkett, has unveiled a new single, Frost Burn.
The track is taken from 'form/a EP', which will be released as a limited edition 12” on February 24 via Cascine. It follows 2016's 'Probable Depths'.
Discussing the song, Plunkett said:
"I wrote Frost Burn while on a writing retreat in Western Massachusetts for a week in December 2015. I was feeling stifled by life in Brooklyn and by living with a partner and never really being alone (in fact, never really wanting to be alone), so I headed back to the country, where I grew up. I rented an apartment from my mom's friend that had a river running behind it. Geese would flock to the river every day like clockwork. It was totally peaceful and idyllic - what every artist would dream of. But I didn't feel the way I thought I would. Throughout that week, I felt my same old fears and anxieties creeping through me. I couldn't leave them behind in the city, as much as I wanted to. Painful memories from childhood were there, in that landscape, and my insidious self-doubts were there, in my body. And that's where that line comes from: 'and on my island, / I cannot keep out all the violence.' It's a way of saying: no matter how much of a circle I draw around myself, no matter how much separation I create between me and my environment, I am still affected by the dark forces that are a part of me. There is no retreat, really - there is only recognition."
