Maximo Park will release their fifth studio album ‘Too Much Information‘ on February 3rd next year, the band have confirmed.
The LP contains eleven brand new tracks, and follows the 2012 effort ‘The National Health‘. It also brings to an end any uncertainty surrounding the immediate future of Maximo Park after frontman Paul Smith was quoted in The Sun last year as saying the group were unsure whether they would record another album.
“We ask questions about ourselves before each record,” he said. “Before this one we were like, ‘Does the world need another Maximo Park record?’. We wrote some songs and came to the conclusion that it does.”
“Music means a lot to us so we’d feel like we were betraying music if we put out a record that we didn’t believe in,” he continued. “If this turns out to be our last record, maybe we’ll pick it up again in 20 years’ time.”
