Maximo Park frontman Paul Smith is gearing up to release a new solo album.
‘Diagrams’ is due on 26th October via Billingham Records, preceded by lead single ‘Silver Rabbit’.
“It’s a punchy song where the self-doubt and regret in the lyrics is mirrored by the musical tension that develops as it goes along,” says Paul. “I grew up in the grunge era, so this has echoes of that sound but with my own romantic view of everyday life.”
The record follows on from debut solo outing ‘Margins’ (2010), ‘Frozen By Sight’ (2014) and ‘Contradictions’ (2015).
The track listing reads:
1. The Public Eye
2. Around and Around
3. Silver Rabbit
4. Lake Burley Griffin
5. Syrian Plains
6. John
7. The Beauty Contest
8. Hollywood Hills
9. Head for Figures
10. Critical Mass
11. Your Orbit
