Description
Maypole was a short-lived American band that leaned into the late-psychedelic / early progressive sound of the era. They never became mainstream, which is why this record flew under the radar — but it’s well-regarded by collectors who dig obscure 1970s psych.
The artwork
The cover is very psychedelic:
• Ribbon-like, sliced faces (a visual echo of altered perception)
• A maypole at the center (symbolizing ritual, seasons, and folk tradition)
• Earthy tones mixed with surreal elements — classic early-’70s design
It fits right in with albums from bands like Kaleidoscope, Spirit, or early Yes, visually speaking.
Sound & vibe
Expect:
• Electric & acoustic guitars
• Trippy arrangements
• Folk influences mixed with psych rock
• A slightly progressive edge, but still melodic
