Just Watch: Maximo Park – Get High (No I Don’t)
Maximo Park
Words: Nick Bewes
I’ve been playing Maximo Park’s music on the radio for over a decade and the new material is as good as anything they have done in that time. The second single from new album Risk to Exist is called Get High (No I Don’t). The press release says the new album is a collection of ‘irresistible pop songs about anger, hope, resistance and, above all, empathy’, and that the sound has progressed and it certainly has without losing what made the band what they are. Singer Paul Smith says ‘The song is about resistance in the face of repetition and coercion’ which comes across in the track, but more so when you see the video which is a definite break for them. Can’t wait to hear the album now.
