Maximo Park frontman announces debut album

By | Published on Monday 9 August 2010

Frontman of Maximo Park, Paul Smith, has announced that he will release his debut solo album, entitled ‘Margins’, on 12 Oct via Billingham Records. The album features members of The Matinee Orchestra and Field Music.

However, this is not Smith turning his back on the band, he stresses: “I’m not ‘going solo’ – it’s not like George Michael leaving Wham!”

Instead, he says, the album came about after he and The Matinee Orchestra’s Andy Hodson began to work together in their spare time around four years ago. Smith explained: “After recording about five or six songs over the course of the last few years I realised I was making an album”.
