Description Hide Show Maxmo Parks seventh studio album, Nature Always Wins, arrived on 26 February 2021, and it still feels like a savvy reset from a band that knows exactly who they are. The Newcastle trio had become a trio for real by this point, following keyboardist Lukas Woollers departure, and they teamed with producer Ben H Allen in Atlanta, a collaborator known for work with Animal Collective and Deerhunter. The sessions took place amid lockdown logistics, so parts travelled across the Atlantic while the band stayed put in the North East. You can hear the clarity that comes from that setup, a crispness that gives Paul Smiths voice plenty of space and lets Duncan Lloyds guitar snap and shimmer against Tom Englishs tidy, muscular drumming. The singles told the story first. Baby, Sleep takes the bleary reality of new parenthood and turns it into a taut earworm, all nervous energy and jangling edges. I Dont Know What Im Doing plays the opposite game, a bright chorus wrapped around everyday doubt, delivered with the kind of conversational phrasing Smith has made his trademark since A Certain Trigger. All Of Me is the softest punch, open-hearted and melodic without losing the bands bite. Then theres Child Of The Flatlands, a slow-blooming piece that traces Smiths memories of Teesside. It conjures chemical plants and the big sky of the North East, and it sits in the Product Reviews Hide Show Write a Review
