Maximo Park’s Paul Smith in league with Field Music man
By Aly Barchi | Published on Friday 15 August 2014
Maximo Park slick Paul Smith has ‘linked’ with Field Music’s Peter Brewis in order to make, and later release, a joint LP. ‘Frozen By Sight’ is its name, and “playful, restrained and richly descriptive” is (/are?) its game(s).
Anyhow it’ll make it into shops all over the world on 17 Nov, via Memphis Industries, with the pair set to play several live dates with a nine-man band around the same time.
Talking, Smith says: “We allowed the words to guide where the music was going in order to break free of more traditional pop structures”.
And Brewis chips in: “We wanted to touch on a point somewhere between composition, songwriting and improvisation, but we also wanted to keep a sense of humour and a sense of the everyday”.
