Maximo Park - Our Velocity

Favorite lyrics: There is a poison in the air,
a mix of chemicals and fear // Love is a lie, which means I've been lied to.

You know that minute after a run, when your heart beats so fast it feels like it's going to rip out of your body? That's what this entire song is like - up until the very last note, which drops you off a cliff. There isn't a second of slowdown, where you can let your mind wander from the music. As fast as it is, it even dares to double over itself, spinning your brain into some kind of music-kindled chaos. It's a mix of punk and reggae, a modern Sex Pistols sound. It makes you pay attention until it gets bored and leaves you.
