Ahead of a UK and European tour this September, Half Waif has shared a stunningly beautiful video for “Ocean Scope”, the closing track of her newest album Lavender, out now on Cascine. The video was directed by Kenna Hynes and starring Half Waif’s Nandi Rose Plunkett.
Plunkett comments: “The video for Ocean Scope was treated in the same manner as the song – that is, as a closer, a bookend. Ocean Scope (the final track on Lavender) is an ultimate ending after an album full of talk of endings. The lyrics deal with confronting death, likening it to the onslaught of a loud sound before the song devolves into instrumental chatter. The track eventually resolves on a major chord as a sentiment of acceptance. To follow this structure, the video starts and ends on a salt marsh, where the land meets the ocean, with the first section occurring at dusk and the final section at dawn. What happens in the night in between is a spiritual reverie, a walk through the ego and revisiting of past selves.”
