News of Maxïmo Park front-man Paul Smith‘s upcoming debut solo album broke on the blog a few weeks ago, now you can listen to the first single taken from Margins, ‘Our Lady of Lourdes’.
It featured on Zane Lowe’s BBC show last night and it’s a pretty down tempo affair with dreamy melodies, echoing guitars, not too similar to the warm, fuzzy indie sensibilities of first taster, ‘North Atlantic Drift’ or the frenetic material that made his name.
Margins is released on his own Billingham Records October 11th and features friend Andrew Hodgson and Field Music’s David Brewis.
