Maximo Park

Here's a little music recommendation for y'all: Maximo Park's A Certain Trigger.

It's not a great album; it's poorly produced, and their lead singer needs to work on his lyrics. For the record, "french" never, ever rhymes with "dead", ok? He could afford to drop some of the pretension IMHO, and still stay keep your arty post-punk cache. But, what do you expect from a guy with his hair!?!

For all that though, I haven't been able to stop playing the album. There are some great moments in the songs, and the music is fantastic. Let's home that they'll follow up with some more mature, polished efforts.

I heard of them through Warp Records, but other than that, I don't know squat about them. So lemme know what you think.
