I place Maximo Park closer to the Kaiser Chiefs.

You're not the first one to mention that. The strange thing is - I find Kaiser Chiefs horrendously dull and I never imagined they'd be frequently compared to Maximo and vice versa. In my ears, they're almost a "different sport". Weird.

Claude, if you like Maximo Park you should check out Field Music. Their drummer used to be in The Futureheads. He replaced their old drummer who left to join Maximo Park.

Field Music play much more clever, much more melodic, pop than both of their more successful compatriots.

FINALLY a press release!

Musical innovator Björk releases her next studio album ‘Volta’ on May 7th / May 8th (US)



‘Volta’ is Björk's sixth studio album and follows the release of ‘Medúlla’ in 2004.

Featuring ten brand new and original tracks ‘Volta’ is entirely written and produced by Björk.

In the role of producer Björk has brought in various other musicians to work on her songs and ‘Volta’ features some of her most interesting collaborations so far with Antony Hegarty (Antony And The Johnsons) singing on two tracks, and Timbaland (Jay-Z, Missy Elliot etc) working with Björk on beats that she created for three further songs.

Other artists that feature on ‘Volta’ include electronic pioneer Mark Bell of LFO and two unique drummers – Chris Corsano (the improvisational drummer who has worked with Sonic Youth amongst others) and Brian Chippendale from Lightening Bolt.

Björk also brought in two acclaimed African artists for ‘Volta’ - Toumani Diabate, the Malian kora player and Konono No1 the experimental band from The Congo who won a BBC World Music Award in 2006. She has also put together her own 10 piece female brass section of Icelandic musicians who play on three further tracks. Meanwhile Chinese pipa expert Min Xiao-Fen plays on one song."

NME and Pitchfork

And don’t forget, Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Bjork will be released on March 13, 2007.

I hope those other musicians are satisfied with the final cut, what with Bjork having entirely written and produced the album. Maybe their contributions weren't good enough. Or maybe 'entirely' means something else to the Icelandic.

I say it is and it's true
