Half Waif Surprise-Releases New Piano EP Portraits: Stream
Half Waif goes back to the basics today with a surprise-released EP called Portraits. The four-track project sees the band’s Nandi Rose take two tracks each from her two previous full-length albums — 2020’s The Caretaker and last year’s Mythopoetics — and rework them into starkly stunning piano pieces. Throughout her discography under her Half Waif moniker, Rose has mixed her classical training with elements of pop and indie rock.
