Maximo Park: "Wraithlike" (Stream)

2:21 p.m. · March 12, 2009 · by Andrew Winistorfer

After a pretty great debut album (2005's A Certain Trigger) that positioned the band at the forefront of the post-punk revival, Maximo Park lost the script and started doing blindly fast electronica-influenced tracks on their sophomore album (Our Earthly Pleasures). Hey! Just like Bloc Party.

And like Bloc Party, Maximo Park are releasing a third LP, Quicken the Heart, and yet again the first song, "Wraithlike" sounds like it had a buzzing synths and electronic rush quota to fill. The song can be streamed in part at Maximo's MySpace, and downloaded for free for the cost of an e-mail address here.

Quicken the Heart is due out on May 11 via Warp. Here's the track list:

01. Wraithlik
