Description
The third album from Mercury Prize nominated, Geordie post-punkers Maximo Park was produced by Nick Cave/Grinderman/Yeah Yeah Yeahs producer Nick Launay, and comes four years after their last full-length studio release. Quicken The Heart is slightly darker and more groove-based than their previous efforts but overall continues the band's style of lyrically-intelligent indie-rock. The album is preceded by the single 'The Kids Are Sick Again.'

Comments about WARP Maximo Park - Quicken the Heart:
An okay album but not their best, I would say the first album they released was most engaging but if a Maximo park fan then worth adding to your collection.
