Description

Risk To Exist sees Maximo Park on blistering form, bringing together their trademark hookladen melodies and sense of urgency with offkilter rock, soulful grooves and pop sensibilities. Informed by the dire state of world affairs in 2016 and crumbling political systems, their latest body of work is a vital record for our times.Risk To Exist was coproduced by Tom Schick Wilco, Beck, White Denim and Maximo Park. Keen for the inspiration of unfamiliar surroundings after writing the album in their native NorthEast, the band decamped to Wilcos studio, The Loft in Chicago, in Autumn 2016. Recorded completely live, the recording represents another bold stylistic step for the band after 2014s Top 10 Too Much Information. Maximo Park have also enlisted Mimi Parker from acclaimed US band Low for the record, whose voice lends its inimitable warmth to five album tracks, including lead single Risk To Exist.With 1,500,000 albums and four UK Top 10 albums under their belt to date, Maximo Park have once again shifted seamlessly into a higher gear. They have expertly crafted an infectious pop album for our time, confronting the crucial issues track by track, one monstrous hook at a time.
