MAXIMO PARK / A CERTAIN TRIGGER THE FUTURE HEADS / The Futureheads This is a set of CDs by Maximo Park and The Futureheads. Used CDs. There are some scratches and stains. Both are domestic releases. I am not considering selling them separately. MAXIMO PARK / A CERTAIN TRIGGER With a pop and quirky sound reminiscent of early XTC, and a look full of suspicion. Maximo Park, the first guitar band on the Warp label, and a rising star of poet punk following Bloc Party and The Futureheads, is here! I love the character who is highly intelligent but behaves strangely, agonizes, and then gets angry. THE FUTURE HEADS / The Futureheads Like their compatriots Franz Ferdinand, The Futureheads play thrilling power pop that is impossible to sit still to. This noisy and lengthy debut by the British quartet reflects the art school tastes of 2004. Their sound is strongly influenced by the early XTC, who played jerky pop. The album was produced by Andy Gill of Gang of Four. One song is titled "Man Ray" (with a strong background of Dada and Surrealism), while one of the good songs is a cover of Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love." This retro composition creates a rather trendy atmosphere, but their cover is unique, melodic, and nonchalantly original, more so than the artist they borrowed from. The complex vocal harmonies are, no joke, reminiscent of pure gospel, and the production is excellent with a sense of release, and the bouncy guitar sound is tenacious. The Futureheads' snappy songs will not disappear from your mind as quickly as your taste for electroclash.
