Half Waif - Keep It Out (Welcome Campers)

Nandi Rose Plunkett recorded this live track as part of a welcome pack for some US kids going away to camp over summer last year. It's a nice clip, featuring as it does a live version of 'Keep It Out' plus a short interview and Nandi Rose hanging out with the kids at camp. 'Keep It Out' is from her last album, Lavender, and Nandi Rose recorded a live session from home for Cardinal Sessions back in April to promote new album, The Caretaker. That session is a bit short, so you might also like to watch her NPR Tiny Desk session from late 2018 as well.

Half Waif - Keep It Out (Official Video)

'Keep it out' is the standout track from Half Waif's 2018 album Lavender, a brooding, almost Laura Nyro esque tour de force of songwriting which repays repeated listening.

Since 2018, Nandi Rose (aka Half Waif) has shifted slightly in terms of both image and sound, and her sound is now more electronic than guitar and piano led. Forthcoming album The Caretaker features layered electronica landscapes suggesting an evolution in sound that promises good things.
