Maxïmo Park share new single "All Of Me"

"All Of Me" is the fourth track to be shared from Nature Always Wins, following last year's "I Don't Know What I'm Doing", "Baby, Sleep" and "Child Of The Flatlands".

Lead singer Paul Smith says of the single, "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!"

Nature Always Wins will be Maxïmo Park's first LP in three years after 2017's Risk To Exist.

Smith, guitarist Duncan Lloyd and drummer Tom English recruited Atlanta producer Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter) as their temporary fourth member for Nature Always Wins, and ended up finishing the LP virtually from two different continents due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Discussing the album, Smith says, "I'm so happy we were able to make this album during lockdown, as it's been a challenging time for everyone. After almost four years since Risk To Exist, we wanted to explore new musical territory (for us) without sacrificing our trademark melodic twists and heartfelt lyrics. As always, the passing of time looms large, although the songs contain more affection for the past than before, and there are occasional hints of the fractious, divided time that we live in."
