I have to admit, Maximo Park had fallen off my radar recently and I had filed them away in the recesses of my mind under “soundtrack to my youth”, not that I’m not young now but you know what I mean. I’m talking back in 2007 times when I’d not long left university and they were playing tiny rooms in dank, dark venues.
They were excellent times in my life and their songs bring back some fantastic memories so when they came back into my life with this gorgeous video I was smitten all over again.
The video was shot on the Berlin Tram System and is the most perfect accompaniment to the jangly guitars and Paul Smith’s lilting, yearning vocals. I could go on but you can see for yourself.
