Paul Smith has heard a lot of music. He’s listened to more records than you’ve had hot meals, even if you’re obese. We decided to harness his encyclopaedic powers in a new series, where the Maximo Park singer tells us about some of his favourite music.
#2 - ‘Hettakorii No Ottokotou’ by eX-Girl
“This is an amazing record by a brilliant female synth-rock sort of band. To mention any kind of genre in relation to eX-Girl is a bit difficult, since there’re more different genres contained in this one song than there are on most record label rosters. The song is like a five-minute mini-opera, I can never tell if there’s a story because most of the lyrics are in Japanese and I always forget to listen to the English bit. The music is just insane, intense experimentalism. Constantly trying new things and moving in different directions. Just like Maximo Park, except we’re not Japanese!”
Thanks, Paul!
