The Maes

Elsie Rigby, Maggie Rigby and Anita Hillman make up this folk and indie folk act from Australia. Their music sits where acoustic folk's warmth meets the looser song structures of indie, a pairing that has kept them moving across a growing catalogue of albums over the past decade. Read in order, the five albums chart a band that has kept to the same folk and indie folk territory from start to finish.

Housewarming appeared in 2014, and September followed a year later in 2015. Take Care Take Cover came out in 2017, two years on, and the self-titled The Maes arrived in 2019. Abreast, their most recent album, was released in 2025, six years after its predecessor, the longest gap between records in their five-album catalogue so far. Beyond the albums themselves, published detail on the group is sparse, so the discography is the clearest guide to their work.
