Half Waif has released “Torches,” the second new track from forthcoming album, Lavender, which is set for release on April 27th via Cascine.
Of the song, Nandi Rose Plunkett says: “‘Torches’ opens with the terror of a world that burns, tempered by the cool reminder of an undying coast somewhere nearby. It then imagines what happens when that lit darkness reaches you before you can reach the water’s edge – when you come to feed off it, called by the scream of the open, endless road. It’s probably not surprising that I wrote this song in the days immediately after Trump’s election, driving through Texas on a stretch of highway.”
