Exclusive: Paul Smith Talks New Maximo Park Record
In the wee days of August, Maxïmo Park posted a mysterious blog entry on their official website. It read, "Maxïmo Park have started working today on the follow up to A Certain Trigger with producer Gil Norton (Foo Fighters, The Pixies). They will be recording in London."
Leaves a bit to be desired, yes? Well Maxïes, this is your lucky day, because your buds over at Pitchfork have tracked down Park frontman Paul Smith for more information, and boy did he have a mouthful to share. The man was kind enough to enlighten us on the details surrounding the band's upcoming record, the importance of lyrics, opening for the Stones, and a run-in with a certain Eddie Vedder.
The record, currently untitled, is expected to be 12-13 tracks long, and, as mentioned above, will feature production by Gil Norton. When asked about the switch from Paul Epworth (aka Phones, and producer of MP's last disc, A Certain Trigger) to Norton, Smith explained, "With Paul we wanted to use somebody who hadn't done anything before. We didn't know that he sort of blew up in the way that he did as far as the Futureheads and Bloc Party records, and he seems to be very much a very popular man in the current music scene. We wanted to use somebody who didn't tell us what to do and didn't think that they knew everything about music, and would have a particular sound.
"For the next record, we just felt like we've been playing for the past couple of years and our live show is pretty big. It's really explosive and emotional as far as we're concerned, and we want to capture some of that on the record, and have the record feeling a little bit more like five guys in a room, blasting stuff out...We tried to get a lot of energy on the first record, and we did, but it was more of a sort of uptight crackly energy, and if the last record was a slap in the face, we wanted this one to be a bit of a punch in the gut."
And this punch in the gut is well on its way-- Maxïmo Park and Norton already knocked pre-production and drums and bass off the list. "Before we went into the studio, we thought we had loads of good songs, and we still do, but we thought that they were probably a bit closer to being finished than they actually were," Smith commented. "We had like 20, maybe 21 songs, and we went into the studio in Newcastle...with Gil...We took like two weeks to play the songs through and realize which ones were going to go on the record and which ones we were going to need to work harder on. And it's a testament to the songs that we don't really want to use any of them for B-sides. We feel like at some point in time they're going to be massive songs for us, personally speaking. They're going to be possibly on the third record.
When Gil came in to do pre-production, his enthusiasm for certain ones and his acknowledgment that some of them were a little underdeveloped really helped us focus."
With a tour on its way, the Park hope to finish recording by late October. After that, they will sort out artwork and try to release a single in January and the album in March. "That's what I'm aiming for," Smith said. "And I'll sort of knock a few heads at the record company if it doesn't go my way." Dude knows what he wants! Don't mess, Warp Records!
Although the album lacks a title at the moment, several songs do not. Track titles include "Russian Literature" ("about meeting somebody in Russian literature"), "Girls Who Play Guitar" ("a fun song...probably personally quite depressing"), "Books From Boxes" ("quite possibly just about one of the best songs we've ever written. I just can't wait for people to hear it in its fully recorded version, because again it's a quite personal song, but I always try and write lyrics about personal things, but in a way that people have never heard it termed before"), "Nosebleed" (played live recently, "one of the key tracks" on the new record), "By the Monument" ("a song about waiting"), and "Our Velocity," a prospective single. In fact, Smith compared that last track there to...wait for it..."a spaceship exploding."
"It sounds like a hit to me," he went on. "But I'm in the band, so what do I know?...I do air guitar and air keyboard. It's going to have to be pretty immense to shift that from our first single."
Lyrically, Smith believes the songs are becoming more descriptive. "You can only do so much and you don't want to reveal too much about yourself because it just becomes a bit...freakish," he elaborated. "Not that it has already. I hope not, anyway."
Maxïmo Park are living it up on tour right now. On Friday and Sunday (September 1 and 3), they will open for none other than the Rolling Stones, in Norway and Denmark, respectively.
"It's going to be amusing," Smith said of the opportunity. "I don't know how much good it will do us as far as getting our music to people in Scandinavia, but it's just an experience, and when somebody asks you to do that, you just say, 'Okay.' Not very hard to think about.
"I just want to go and watch them from the side of the stage, and go, 'I've just seen the Stones.' To be fair, I probably wouldn't pay 150 quid or whatever it is for a ticket to go watch out front; that's just me. We're going to step out in front of 85,000 people...As far as we're concerned, it's going to be something that you'll remember for the rest of your life."
Fortunately, Smith's all warmed up to that star-struck feeling, as the singer met Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder last weekend at England's Reading and Leeds festivals. He explained, "It was unbelievable because I just see people and I think, 'You're doing the same thing as me,' and I either respect them or I don't for their music. But Eddie Vedder...I bought Ten when I was fourteen or something. And I wanted to say 'Hi,' and 'We're...headlining the other stage while you're headlining the main stage,'...and just give him a nod and shake his hand. Because when you're a kid, it really means a lot to you, these big rock groups. I remember having a Vitalogy poster on my wall, and...I did a book of drawings of Michael Stipe and Eddie Vedder and one of Snoop Dogg...all these really intricate pencil drawings.
"It was pretty weird and he gave me a hug. But you realize that these people are just normal. He's a bit smaller than me; he's just the guy there in front of you and he was really sound," said Smith.
"So respect to Eddie Vedder."
Maxïmo Park will round out 2006 with a series of European shows. But don't fret, North American fans-- a tour of your continent is on its way. Smith commented that he would like to cross the pond after wrapping up the new album in England. "I want to go back to America and give it a real crack and keep reaching new people," Smith said. "I'm not really bothered about breaking America. When the album comes out, we'll probably at least do a gig in Los Angeles and one in New York, and try and organize a tour later in the year. I wanted to play the Pitchfork Festival, actually." Don't we all, Paul. Don't we all.

Absoluut niet! Wij gaan zeker een paar duizend albums verkopen in de voornotering. Ik zou wel heeeeeel dom en werkeloos willen zijn als ik tracks van (gewatermerkte) promos op het net ga gooien terwijl ik notabene voor Warp/Roughtrade werk. Niks ervan, lekker afwachten want het is de moeite méér dan waard!

Verder zijn de promos inderdaad gewatermerkt en genummerd. Uiteraard zal iemand die niets beters te doen heeft dat makkelijk kunnen omzeilen, maar voor een label als Warp is dit album een Big Deal en zullen ze er proberen alles aan te doen ter voorkoming dat het album uitlekt. Natuurlijk is dat bijna onvermijdelijk, zeker als de 'gewone' promos zullen worden uitgestuurd naar de pers ed, maar van ons uit zal het in ieder geval NIET gebeuren!
Zit je bij de PR afdeling van Warp ofzo Of wil je even opscheppen dat je bij een platenmaatschappij werkt? (ik vermoed het laatste )
Ik geloof zelf niet zo dat er veel minder cd's verkocht gaan worden door het lekken van een plaat. De echte fans (en daar moet Maxïmo Park het op het moment nog wel van hebben) kopen die cd écht wel. Op deze manier kunnen ze zich alvast inluisteren. En als het onder de maat is kopen ze het niet, maar dat is op het conto van de artiest. Ik zie het probleem dus niet zo...

Maar voor een label als Warp is het ook echt niet erg dat een band wat extra aandacht krijgt voordat het album is uitgekomen. Extra aandacht, meer mensen die wellicht het album gaan kopen. Wat zodra het in de winkels ligt, verschijnt het toch in downloadbare versie.quote:wa·ter·merk (het ~)

Maximo Park heeft nog niet de status hier (in Nederland dus he, in de UK zijn ze wel groot) die bijvoorbeeld bands als Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party en/of Franz Ferdinand wel hebben.
Maar ik hoop dat met dit album, met deze singles en alles eromheen wat we van plan zijn met MP het uiteraard een heel ander verhaal wordt.
Wat betreft het downloaden; je geeft zelf al aan met 'wellicht', dat je er niet zeker van bent dat mensen het album echt zullen kopen. En zoals ik al zei, het is idd bijna onvermijdelijk dat het op een gegeven moment gaat uitlekken, maar hopelijk gaan de meeste mensen/echte fans het album gewoon in de winkels halen.
