The Maes

The self-titled debut album from the Melbourne sister duo that comprises The Maes is an intimate collection of gentle and conversational songs. 

The purely honest, raw and relaxed style of music highlights the sisters’ outstanding vocal abilities. As an added bonus, Monique Clare lends her cello capabilities to the album as well as her voice to provide a harmonious blend of vocals. 

The folksy feel of The Maes’ music makes it the perfect album to put on after a long day when all you want to do is put your feet up and close your eyes. 

Treat You Better and Head Over Heels are the standout singles off the record, showcasing the group’s smooth harmonies.
