Half Waif, aka Pinegrove's Nandi Rose Plunkett, has shared a video for Frost Burn.
The song is lifted from her 'form/a' EP, which was released last month via Cascine. It followed 2016's 'Probable Depths'.
About the video, Plunkett said:
"Frost Burn was filmed at the same house and property where it was written, which is a house in the Berkshires, the region where I grew up. Emily [Dublin-director] & I decided it would be a good idea to return there to shoot, since the lyrics deal with confronting the past. We took the line from the chorus - "and on my island / I cannot keep out all the violence" - and used that to guide the imagery. We wanted to convey the idea that even when we try to build our own personal islands to protect ourselves from our past, ultimately the violence of our memories cannot be shut out. So there's the brewing of tea - an act of comfort and coziness - that overlaps with an outdoor picnic in sub-zero weather. And there's the fort built with blankets, a physically protective structure, that feels hollow and childish in the context of adulthood. In the video, I get to revisit the house where the song was born, while simultaneously reflecting on revisiting my past in that very area, where the woods and the cold and the sweet New England houses trigger so many memories. Standing on the edge of a frozen river in nothing but a dress, internal and external weather assaulting the body and mind."
