See You At The Maypole, the sixth full-length album in Half Waif's prolifc catalogue, is a recognition of personal sadness, and a call to ecstatic togetherness It's gathering the colours of our spirit, in all its shades, and making something intricate and remarkable. The ceremonial folk dance performed around a maypole is flled with fauna and fora, with ribbons woven into complex braids incapable of unraveling; these dances are survivals of ancient ritual, honouring the living trees, and the return of Spring and fertility. These patterns -- this dance -- cannot be completed alone, and so, Half Waif welcomes others to join her, a collective of bleeding colour. "We are so much stronger for the colorful experiences we go through," she says. "That's where we find our humanity and fnd each other." While the seclusion of grief feels infnite, Rose brought the songs to her trusted friend and longtime collaborator of the past decade, Zubin Hensler. The pair worked away from others for Mythopoetics, carefully crafting each note and fourish themselves but something else was needed for See You At The Maypole. To that end, Hensler and Rose welcomed a wealth of players and friends into the world of the record: Jason Burger and Zack Levine on drums and percussion; Josh Marre (Blue Ranger) on guitar; Hannah Epperson and Elena Moon Park on violin; Kristina Teuschler on clarinet; Willem de Koch on trombone; Rebecca El- Saleh on harp; and Spencer Zahn on upright bass. Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief, Bon Iver) lent his deft mixing skills to many of the tracks, including lead single 'Figurine.'
