Maximo Park's Paul Smith Announces New Solo Album 'Diagrams'

Maximo Park frontman Paul Smith has announced the release of his new solo album titled 'Diagrams'.

The singer fourth record as a solo artist will be out on October 26th via Billingham Records. Alongside co-producer Andrew Hodson, of 6 Music favourites, Warm Digits, he charts a course into the yearning, melancholic jangle-pop of The Go-Betweens, finding himself drawn to the literate, grunge-pop of The Lemonheads, to build a cohesive collection that pulls in his many strengths. Pre-order your copy here.

About his new song 'Silver Rabbit', Paul Smith explains: “It's a punchy song where the self-doubt and regret in the lyrics is mirrored by the musical tension that develops as it goes along. I grew up in the grunge era, so this has echoes of that sound but with my own romantic view of everyday life.”

New Entry: The Underground Youth Premiere New Single "Fill the Void"

Berlin post punk/psych band The Underground Youth have premiered their addictive new single "Fill the Void".

The 7" single Fill the Void / Take Me Awry will be out via Fuzz Club on September 8th. Pre-order your copy here.

The Underground Youth have always been steeped in a romantic nostalgia, their poignant psychedelic post-punk sounding like what might happen if Rowland S. Howard, Leonard Cohen, Bauhaus and The Velvet Underground jammed in a room together, but on this new 45 the band have turned this nostalgia in on themselves. 

'Fill The Void' and 'Take Me Awry' offer a reflective journey through the band's impassioned psychedelic post-punk, with it's 80s-style percussion, funeral vocals croons and dark jangly instrumentation that occasionally breaks down into a whirlwind of fuzzed-out guitars. 

Watch a lyric video for the song below.
