Half Waif unveils new single 'The Museum'

With her highly-anticipated new album landing later this year, Half Waif has now dropped the next cut to be lifted from her forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'The Museum' comes accompanied by a stunning new video, directed by Derrick Belcham, and follows on from the previously shared efforts 'Figurine', 'Heartwood', 'Big Dipper' and 'Ephemeral Being' in previewing her new LP 'See You At The Maypole', which is out on the 4th October via ANTI-.

Speaking about the new offering, she said, “There’s a warehouse at the top of Main Street in my tiny town that’s being turned into a museum for Shaker art. It’s just down the road from my house, so I pass by it all the time. When I wrote ‘The Museum,’ I was thinking about how sort of beautifully delusional it is to create a museum at a time when the world is reaching the apex of climate crisis. This idea of preserving pieces of furniture in a pristine, white-walled space when outside, everything is collapsing.

“I’d also read a headline about how people were vacationing in Iceland at an active volcano, and that seemed to hold the same feeling for me as the museum-under-construction. Tourism at the brink of apocalypse. Meanwhile, my husband and I were talking about building a family, building a future, and I was grappling with the responsibility of what it means to bring a child into this kind of world—where people pose for selfies while the earth explodes.”
