Half Waif (aka Nandi Rose) has shared "In August," the latest from her anticipated new album, 
The Caretaker, out next Friday, March 27th via ANTI- Records

Of the song, Rose says: "'In August' tracks the dissolution of a friendship over the course of a year, throughout every season. There's a particular kind of sadness to a friendship ending when there's no one to blame, just as there's something mournful about the inevitable change of weather. Sometimes it's not a big fight but a gradual growing apart that marks the end - how do we make sense of our role in that? This song is an attempt to recognize and accept mutual culpability in an effort to move on."

Following the CDC's recommendations regarding COVID-19 and global safety concerns, Half Waif has cancelled the sold-out The Caretaker record release show at Brooklyn, NY's Public Records on 3/27 and will also be postponing her North American May tour dates. Rescheduled dates will be announced shortly.

Half Waif will be live broadcasting an intimate set from her home on March 27th at 7 PM EST. Details to come.

The Caretaker has received early praise from NPR's All Songs ConsideredPitchforkThe FADERStereogumConsequence of SoundPasteMTVNylonUPROXXBrooklyn VeganUnder The Radar and more. 


 working alone and with others, between isolation and connection. The result is her boldest work yet. Even the album cover seems to declare a statement of intent in high resolution, a deliberate move from the obscured, muted mystery of her previous work: the artist's sharp image radiates before a brilliant blue storm, staring you right in the eye.
