Maximo Park's newest album, Our Earthly Pleasures, was half made of fizzing, life-affirming songs and half of rubbish songs that may as well be titled Will Fellate For Mainstream American Radio Success.

Fortunately Maximo Park's newest single, Girls Who Play Guitars, is taken straight from the former batch. Synths buzz, Paul Smith yelps and the whole shebang is tighter than hecklerspray on a night down the pub. God knows what it's about, mind you, although Paul Smith seems awfully sad that he and his girlfriend don't talk about boys who have had their spines surgically removed any more. Girls Who Play Guitar by Maximo Park, then - not as good as Our Velocity but far better than Books From Boxes. More like this please.
