Maximo Park’s Duncan Lloyd prepares for next month’s album release with new single, ‘Rituals’

MAXIMO PARK’s DUNCAN LLOYD today unveils ‘Rituals,’ the second single taken from next month’s ‘Unwound’ album (via Reveal Records).

“The song is about habits, good and bad,” he said. “It’s also a song about trying to help someone recover. Musically I was thinking of it being like a circle where the rhythm changes but the chords keep rotating, I wanted it to sound like it was coming through several broken radios with only one being crystal clear.

“If there is a pop song on the album this is the closest song to one, although it didn’t start out that way. I wrote it during a difficult year and as with a few of the songs on the record it’s fundamentally a personal message to a loved one. I got a little obsessed with the sound of the production as I wanted it to be different from anything I’d done before so it has this modern sense to it.”
