Maximo Park return with their latest offering, Quicken The Heart. The opener, "Wraithlike", boasts the band's musical ouevre, experimenting to great effect with a 7/4 time signature. Other stand-outs include "The Kids Are Sick Again", a snapshot of contemporary adolescence, "Under A Cloud Of Mystery", a rock ballad that gets better with each listen, and the strong closer "I Haven't Seen Her In Ages," a brooding look at Maximo Park's dark side. The album is one of the best indie releases of 2009, and if you haven't gotten into Maximo Park yet, this album is a perfect example of what you're missing out on.
