Half Waif announces forthcoming EP, Ephemeral Being
Half Waif has announced the forthcoming Ephemeral Being EP alongside the release of lead single “Big Dipper”.
“This is a song about looking for answers, and finding none, and looking again,” Nandi Rose explains of “Big Dipper.” “It was written at a time when I was feeling very stuck in my body and overwhelmed by compounding griefs. I was inspired by the Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, who had just passed away, and his idea of continuation--how we are not bound by our forms. We continue on. ‘This body is not me,’ he said. ‘So laugh with me, hold my hand, let us say good-bye, say good-bye to meet again soon.’"
Recorded over the course of the winter of 2021 and into the following spring, the Ephemeral Being EP looks at the transience of life while celebrating the continuation of nature and its cycles. The release follows the 2021 album, Mythopoetics, and the subsequent EP Portraits, which was made up of piano versions of songs from her Mythopoetics and The Caretaker albums.
