The third album from Mercury Prize nominated, Geordie post-punkers Maximo Park was produced by Nick Cave/ Grinderman/ Yeah Yeah Yeahs producer Nick Launay, & comes four years after their last full-length studio release. Quicken The Heart is slightly darker & more groove-based than their previous efforts but overall continues the bands style of lyrically-intelligent indie-rock. The album is preceded by the single The Kids Are Sick Again.
