What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Maggie feeling unmoved.

Hey Maximo Park with Books from Boxes on Warp and Brian's walked into the office. He's a big fan so good timing. Indie pop sing along with Johnny Marr (Smiths) style chiming guitar and songs following the pop blue print like a hungry baby on the teat. Inoffensive but mildly uninspiring.

What the label says:

Once again, Maximo Park fans are treated to more exclusive tracks and previously unheard versions across the B sides.·Gracing the CD single is their alternative take on The Proclaimers’ ‘500 Miles’ - recorded exclusively for Jo Whiley’s Live Lounge last month. So adored, it lit up the Radio 1 switchboard with requests for the cover version to be released.   ·Backing the second 7” is ‘Don McPhee’, continuing the series of songs inspired by Paul Smith’s fascination with peoples’ lives as he reads their obituaries. Don McPhee was a photographer for The Guardian whilst ‘Mary O Brien’ on ‘Our Velocity’ was Dusty Springfield’s alter ego. These celebrations of individuals’ lives are set to guitarist Duncan Lloyd’s folk inspired, home recorded tunes, and there’ll be more tributes to follow.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.

'if you can’t be the song, let the song be.'
