Our Earthly Pleasures by Maximo Park
Our Earthly Pleasures is an album by Maximo Park, released in 2007. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Girls Who Play Guitars”, on 2 lists with a best position of #89.
Our Earthly Pleasures, Maxïmo Park's second studio album, came out on Warp on 2 April 2007, a couple of weeks after the single "Our Velocity" set the pace. Gil Norton produced, and he gives the Newcastle band a bigger, sharper sound without flattening the nervous energy that made their debut so thrilling.
Paul Smith's urgent, yelping vocals lead the charge, while Duncan Lloyd's jagged guitar, Lukas Wooller's keyboards, Archis Tiku's bass and Tom English's drums lock together in taut post-punk revival fashion. "Girls Who Play Guitars" is a jittery, clattering thrill, all angles and urgency. It followed A Certain Trigger into gold territory in the UK, and Quicken the Heart came after it in 2009.
