Album "Stream Of Life"
Indie rock legends Maximo Park are reflective
British band Maximo Park released their eighth studio album "Stream Of Life" on Friday. Eleven songs deal with profound themes in a varied indie rock style. The band is perhaps in the most reflective phase it has ever been in, according to a press release.
The album was influenced by the title of a short story by the Ukrainian-Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector (1920-1977). Lead singer Paul Smith was inspired by her stream of consciousness and the way she made people think about the inner mechanisms of human beings. The almost poetic lyrics on the album are also about this.
The album's opener "Your Own Worst Enemy", for example, addresses the everyday self-deceptions and mistakes that people make in order to avoid inner conflicts. "Here comes this horrible feeling, you're your own worst enemy. My words just bounce off the ceiling, here we go again, hide the anger, let's pretend," sings Smith.
But the band, which has been active for over 20 years, also tackles topics such as passion, politics and privilege. The British trio remains true to its style, but also continues to develop musically. With tracks such as "The End Can Be As Good As The Start" and "Doppelgänger Eyes", Maximo Park combine fast rhythms with catchy melodies, while pieces such as "Armchair View" also leave room for quiet passages. At the end of September, the group will embark on an extensive European tour, although there is no Austrian date.
