Half Waif will release her new album ‘Lavender’ on April 27th via the Cascine label. Having shared her track ‘Keep It Out’, she now returns with a new single titled ‘Torches’. Using sparse electronic production to create a haunting and atmospheric soundscape, Half Waif delivers an emotive performance that ropes the listener into her world.

Regarding the track, Half Waif mentioned:

“‘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.”
