Listen: Maximo Park Announce New Album, Preview Track

Maximo Park have announced details of their new album, ‘The National Health’. The full length - which follows on from 2009’s ‘Quicken The Heart’ - is due on 11th June.

Speaking about the record, frontman Paul Smith says: ‘We’re in a global recession and everyone is being bombarded with bouncy, happy music. The nation is out of control and the record is about taking back control, and being a force for change in your own life. It can’t speak for everybody but it has its eyes and ears all around us… that’s always been a Maximo Park thing: look at yourself.’

The tracklisting is as follows:

‘When I Was Wild’
‘The National Health’
‘Hips And Lips’
‘The Undercurrents’
‘Write This Down’
‘Reluctant Love’
