The third album from Mercury Prize nominated, Geordie post-punkers Maximo Park was produced by Nick Cave/Grinderman/Yeah Yeah Yeahs producer Nick Launay, and comes four years after their last full-length studio release. Quicken The Heart is slightly darker and more groove-based than their previous efforts but overall continues the band's style of lyrically-intelligent indie-rock. The album is preceded by the single 'The Kids Are Sick Again.'

What have Maxïmo Park got?

They ve got two albums that are just about to go platinum in the UK. A Mercury nomination for the first one, 2005 s A Certain Trigger. An impassioned fanbase that tunes in to Paul Smith s idea-packed lyrics, the songs intense pop explosion, and the band s incendiary live shows. They ve got a fanbase that turns out in droves whenever the Newcastle five-piece performs. They ve got an umlaut above the i in Maxïmo. It s the detail that matters, right? And Maxïmo Park got da funk. And they got da disco. And they got the big fckff siren klaxoning its way through Wraithlike, the opening song on their third album Quicken The Heart. Smith, Lukas Wooller (keyboards), Duncan Lloyd (guitars), Archis Tiku (bass) and Tom English (drummer) have made an album that does what it says on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation tin.
I thought the title was apt considering the new songs have a very upbeat nature, says Smith. He s shaving as he talks, standing in a hotel room in Cologne, readying for a covershoot for a German music magazine. Maxïmo Park, unlike many of their so-called peers, are properly big in Europe. They re very euphoric, the frontman continues. Sometimes very dark but at all times they re meant to quicken the heart and set the pulse racing. The line is taken from Wraithlike, and the whole idea of that song is questioning why you d write a song. Well, we write songs to convey emotions and express ourselves. Which may sound like a very basic thing to say. But having listened to a lot of pop music on the radio in my time, I know that that s not normally the case. It was an instinctual thing, says Wooller of that siren revving up through the revved-up Wraithlike. Always on the lookout for hidden sonic corners in his battery of keyboards, he found the sound by accident. Sometimes the simplest things are the best - and having the confidence to do the simplest thing is important. I think the record is shot through with that
feeling. It feels like a very natural record, adds Lloyd. Although there s nothing natural about a record with synths that sound like guitars, and guitars that sound like they re being played by Giorgio Moroder. Nothing natural, but everything exciting...

Message from Paul:

"Here's our new video. It starts off dark but there are unique LED lights that illuminate each section. We used special effects that make us look a bit Max Headroom.

If you've never heard of Max Headroom go to your nearest search engine, but not before you've watched this video!"

La descarga está disponible para dos semanas, que empezaron a partir del 9 de este mes.



Spin.com:

Brit post-punk quintet Maximo Park are celebrating the May release of their new album, Quicken the Heart, by treating fans to a sneak preview!

Beginning today, you can download new track "Wraithlike" for free off the band's website for two weeks only. The song, about lost love, is a rousing punker with jittery guitar, throbbing synths, and Smith's rapid-fire lyrics: "Here's a song that finally you can understand / Filled with wraithlike things / Quicken the heart!"

Frontman Paul Smith explained the album's title in a blog post on the band's site last week. Its original working title, Rollerdisco of Dreams, was scrapped in favor of Quicken the Heart.

"It's a pulsating listen, hence the title (which appears in one of the songs, so keep an ear out for its appearance)," Smith wrote.

He went on to reveal that the album -- recorded in Los Angeles with Yeah Yeah Yeahs producer Nick Launay -- would also be available in a special edition CD and DVD format, which will include a 65-minute tour film featuring live footage of the band's sell-out homecoming show at Newcastle Arena, plus "backstage tomfoolery." Watch a clip from the film on the band's website.

“Your Urge” - Maximo Park [MP3 via Spin]
A seeming pep talk for hedonism, "Your Urge," the latest track off Maximo Park's upcoming Our Earthly Pleasures (out May 8 via Warp), is rife with mentions of drunken stumbles and quivering ooohs. "You don't have to deny your urge / It doesn't make you bad," nervy frontman Paul Smith coos during the song's opening seconds. And though Smith worships the off-hours ("The weekend is a Godsend / The nighttime is a lifeline") as piano trios and thrashy drums swell the song forward, Smith is surprisingly -- and sincerely -- hesitant: "My nervous system fails me / My thoughts are becoming fugitive / And when I'm in your arms / I wonder how much I can give."
