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 #3: Sally Shapiro - ‘I’ll Be By Your Side’
“I feel it’s important to point out that Maximo Park is basically an electro band. We may use guitars and real drums and sound like an indie band, but at our heart we are as electronic as a toaster. This is what qualifies me to talk about this record. It is amazing. A piece of gigantic, glacial electropop that to my ear sounds like listening to Kraftwerk while speeding through the arctic tundra on a snowmobile. By that I don’t mean, ‘quite German and full of engine noise’, I’m using metaphor. Again, this is something Maximo Park like to do quite a lot of and why you should always search for hidden meanings in our songs. Metaphor - look it up, kids!”
