Maximo Park + Cristian Vogel

It’s a bit surprising that I never wrote about one of my favorite albums last year — Maximo Park’s A Certain Trigger. Maybe I read too much praise about it, and really, what did little ol’ me have to add to the chorus?

This track is off the latest UK single, “I Want You To Stay.” Cristian Vogel and Maximo Park seem to be an unlikely pairing, but it works. Not as tech heavy as Cristian Vogel can be… but there are certainly some interesting textures in this mix.

Mr. James Headphonesex has the Field Music remix which is a totally different sound than the original.

Nothing to do with the music, but as far as album art goes, I fucking love the cover to Maximo Park’s album and singles. They’re just all so cool. And I love that they have kept the theme throughout the entire stretch of releases.

You guys are on the up and up, so I’m sure you all know this, but Maximo Park’s b-side collection, Missing Songs, hits stores tomorrow in the U.S.
