RecommendHaving followed upon the thrusting, feet-shuffling ‘A Certain Trigger’ with the more winding, slower vocal concealing 2nd album ‘Our Earthly Pleasures’, Maximo Park have build a reputation for being able to mix moods and uplift souls. This single is the jewel in the crown of the latter mentioned full-length, being inspired by Dusty Springfield’s obituary. Paul Smith delivers his earthy, but sincere vocals from a backdrop led by springing, light guitars with a 70s kick. He rescinds a loving relationship with the rugged authority of many a pub tale. Maximo Park continues to keep it real, but provide enough of an escapism plane through their instrumental roving.
