Our Earthly Pleasures

Maxïmo Park

Jittery, hyper-literate indie rock defined by staccato guitars and sharp synths. A restless record of urban romance and intellectual anxiety.

March 31, 2007 · Warp Records

A high-strung, intellectual rush of urban adrenaline and bittersweet romantic reflection.
