Maximo Park - Stream Of Life

Maximo Park occupy a rarefied place in the music scene.

Intelligent, well-read and therefore respected, the group have consistently released albums – and especially singles – of high quality indie pop, straddling the gap between literary and primal with their customary classiness.

To put it another way, in their now 20-year career, the group’s musical textures haven’t especially evolved which, for an act held to such a high standard, could ordinarily be construed as a criticism.

Yet Paul Smith and company transcend any possibility of such barbs by virtue of their quality control. Take the opening track on Stream Of Life, ‘Your Own Worst Enemy’, announcing it through a clatter of drums, powerful guitars and soaring chorus.
