Maximo Park have titled their second album ‘Our Earthly Pleasures’.

The follow-up to 2005’s debut ‘A Certain Trigger’ is out on April 2, and will be preceded by the single ‘Our Velocity’ on March 19.

The record was produced by Gil Norton, renowned for his work with the likes of Pixies and Foo Fighters.

Singer Paul Smith said of the record: “Thanks to two years of touring the world and with the contribution of Gil Norton, ‘Our Earthly Pleasures’ is a heavy, eye-opening record. It's rock music without the clichés, dealing with the world on an emotional level. Ultimately we want to reach as many people as possible because we feel this record has the ability to inspire and affect people.”

‘Girls Who Play Guitars’
