{"product_id":"half-waif-see-you-at-the-maypole","title":"Half Waif- See You at the Maypole ( Vinyl )","description":"\u003cp\u003eSee You At The Maypole, the sixth full-length album in Half Waif's prolific catalog, is a recognition of personal sadness, and a call to ecstatic togetherness. It's gathering the colors of our spirit, in all it's 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, honoring 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 color. \"We are so much stronger for the colorful experiences we go through,\" she says. \"That's where we find our humanity and find each other.\" \r\n\r\nWhile 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 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: 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.' \r\n\r\n\"This wasn't just my story, I wanted to say. It was every story of loss-the loss of a life, the loss of a dream, the loss of trust and hope and faith. A story of finding a way back again,\" Rose explains. \"My own avenue back to the land of the living was through my relationships with people and with the natural world. It only seemed right that these songs would invite those people in to build the very heart of the sound.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFog Winter Balsam Jade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Collect Color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I-90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Figurine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Heartwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Big Dipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Shirtsleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sunset Hunting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Slow Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ephemeral Being\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Violetlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Velvet Coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Museum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e King of Tides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mother Tongue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e March Grass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57420438929743,"sku":"045778799619","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/4363801-3217556.jpg?v=1775623861","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/half-waif-see-you-at-the-maypole","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
