InchThis album digs even deeper,Inch says Ellefson. InchIt's heavier, more personal, and shaped by everything we've experienced on and off the stage.Inch Soto adds, InchThe energy we poured into this one-it's the sound of two lifetimes colliding in riffs, rage, and redemption.Inch Ellefson further comments InchOne of the things I like most is I feel like you can hear a real sense of brotherhood on our records, that we're really in the creative process together as a band. The consistency of our sound has remained intact while allowing us to further build upon each other's strengths from our debut album. It's an honest, organic approach that blends well and let's us explore new sounds and musical paths. At the end of the day, I don't think there is anything that an artist desires more than that!Inch

Risk To Exist' sees Maximo Park on blistering form, bringing together their trademark hook-laden melodies and sense of urgency with off-kilter rock, soulful grooves and pop sensibilities. Informed by the dire state of world affairs in 2016 and crumbling political systems, their latest body of work is a vital record for our times.'Risk To Exist' was co-produced by Tom Schick (Wilco, Beck, White Denim) and Maximo Park. Keen for the inspiration of unfamiliar surroundings after writing the album in their native North-East, the band decamped to Wilco's studio, The Loft in Chicago, in Autumn 2016. Recorded completely live, the recording represents another bold stylistic step for the band after 2014's Top 10 'Too Much Information'. Maximo Park have also enlisted Mimi Parker from acclaimed US band Low for the record, whose voice lends it's inimitable warmth to five album tracks, including lead single 'Risk To Exist'.With 1,500,000 albums and four UK Top 10 albums under their belt to date, Maximo Park have once again shifted seamlessly into a higher gear. They have expertly crafted an infectious pop album for our time, confronting the crucial issues track by track, one monstrous hook at a time.The album launches on the 20th Janury with title track 'Risk to Exist' premiering on BBC 6 music with Steve Lamacq, and will be released on the 21st of April 2017
