October 4 street date. Half Waif is the stage name of American musician Ananda Rose "Nandi" Plunkett. "See You At The Maypole", the sixth full-length album in Half Waif's prolific 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 filled with fauna and flora, 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. While the seclusion of grief feels infinite, Rose brought the songs to her trusted friend and longtime collaborator of the past decade, Zubin Hensler. The pair had worked away from others for "Mythopoetics", carefully crafting each note and flourish 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.
