Maxïmo Park are today sharing new single All Of Me, from upcoming album “Nature Always Wins” (Feb 26). All Of Me is the follow-up to the album’s powerhouse lead single Baby, Sleep – which spent 4 weeks on the BBC 6 Music A-List – and the recent giddy, urgent standalone track I Don’t Know What I’m Doing. All Of Me comes to exemplify the approach that Grammy-winning producer Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Deer Hunter) instilled into the recording process. Making use of the quiet and the space, it unfolds into an expansive offering to match their most widescreen outings. Lead singer Paul Smith details the song:
“It’s a love song about the power of song itself, buoyed by the uplifting music in the chorus. It’s also about domesticity and family life being valid subject matter for a pop song. The more intimate verses are bits of advice to someone who has changed your perspective on life. Big themes!”
Of the accompanying video he continues: “Both the quiet verses and the anthemic choruses are reflected (pun intended) in the video, which was influenced by an intimate film of Arthur Russell playing cello, as well as Bruce Lee flighting within a hall of mirrors in Enter The Dragon!”
Listen to All Of Me HERE and watch the video below.
