Maxïmo Park have shared a new single titled ‘Favourite Songs’ and announced details of an upcoming UK and European tour. Check out the track and find ticket details below.The newly-shared single marks the first new material from the band in over 18 months, and comes as somewhat of a salute to the impact that pop music can have on its listeners – celebrating how it can provide solace in times of need, and a place to retreat into with like minds.“My best years are behind me/ but I’ll be damned if I’m giving up/ your intervention was timely/ I was acceptable, at a push/ am I able to sit at the big boy’s table?” frontman Paul Smith questions at the start of the uplifting track, while a poppy guitar riff and shimmering synths sit behind.It also comes alongside a black-and-white music video, which shows the singer singing directly to the camera, as well as swirling visuals of the city around him.“Our aim was to create a peppy yet powerful ode to the consolation of music and companionship in the face of other people’s preconceptions,” Smith explained of the inspiration behind the song.
