Maximo Park have been locked away in Los Angeles with Nick Launay, famed for his production duties on Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Talking Heads and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, to create a record which pushes the boundaries of the Maximo Park sound, this time adding more "extreme" synthesisers and "dreamier" guitars to produce something far different from anything they've ever done before. With the finishing touches just being put on the record. The as yet untitled album is the follow up to "Our Earthly Pleasures", which rocketed to #2 in the UK album charts, with Lead single "Our Velocity" becoming a bona fide classic and top 10 smash.

Now, get ready for Maximo Park to up the ante once again.
