Description
For Nandi Rose, songwriting is a powerful act of transformation. As Half Waif, she weaves the darkest and most vulnerable moments of our lives with a golden thread, creating a magnificent portrayal of the human experience filled with graceful strength. On the new album Mythopoetics, this Hudson Valley - based artist breaks free from inherited familial patterns, turning pain into something beautiful and worth celebrating. It's a crucial reminder that we can shape our life stories and myths.
Half Waif's previous albums like The Caretaker (2020), Lavender (2018), and Probable Depths (2016) were highly praised for their engaging exploration of solitude, desire, and the search for independence through synth - pop. Her fifth full - length album shows her expanding her creative scope. Rose overcomes self - scrutiny and takes us into a mythical world. Mythopoetics delves into addiction, memory, and loss, inspired by remnants of the past such as the scent of orange blossoms, a meteor's trail, and the taste of loneliness. It's a modern storybook where memories become songs and the self is tenderly explored.
To bring Mythopoetics to life, Rose collaborated again with multi - instrumentalist, film composer, and producer Zubin Hensler. They had a recording residency at Pulp Arts in Gainesville, Florida, initially planning stripped - back piano recordings. But the studio environment transformed the project into a rich and diverse sonic universe.
To enjoy the album Mythopoetics, simply play it on your preferred music - playing device like a smartphone, music player, or computer. You can listen to it during your leisure time, when you want to relax, or when you're in a contemplative mood. There are no special technical requirements for playing the album. Just make sure your device has a good sound system so you can fully experience the rich and diverse sounds. When it comes to maintaining your copy of the album, if it's a digital copy, keep your device's software up - to - date to avoid any compatibility issues. If it's a physical copy like a CD, store it in a cool, dry place and handle it gently to prevent scratches.
