New album 'Maxim' a collaboration with No Spinoza is a collection of reimagined nursery rhymes. "A stellar release” Obscure Sound.Maxim by Drew Worthley & No Spinoza, released 28 March 20221.

MaximMaxim is a project born of the slow burn of remote collaboration and a shared passion for experimentation with musical heritage. From the south of Drew Worthley’s Worthing studio to No Spinoza’s northerly home of York, the two artists shaped and reshaped fresh iterations of childhood curiosities over the lockdown months of 2020. The album reached its culmination in at Echo Zoo Studio in Eastbourne, helmed by Dave Izumi Lynch (Ed Harcourt, Billy Bragg, Jake Bugg, The Magic Numbers), where the pair’s remote recordings were augmented with analogue synths, live string arrangements and kinetic drums. The result is a series of 10 reimagined traditional nursery rhymes laced with fun urgent vibrancy and an underlying dark melancholy./// Reviews ///“It’s a stunning record, that. Really imaginative – never heard anything like that before. So I’m really looking forward to what they produce next.”BBC Music Introducing“An enchanting album meshing chamber-pop whimsy with nostalgic nursery rhymes…A stellar release” Obscure Sound“10 childhood nursery rhymes vividly reimagined as if through a glass darkly”Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music"Well worth the wait. This is a fantastic concept album...beautifully structured and crafted, it's really like nothing I've heard yet...It's a stunning thing." Curved Radio, Australia“Hypnotic…the imprint and atmosphere of a very interesting universe.”Direct Actu“They …evolve familiar folk foundations of finger picked strings and transcend into cinematic instrumental dream worlds fit for an award winning soundtrack.” The Wild is Calling“I didn’t want to like it, I didn’t even think I would like it, but what a bloomin’ fool I am! This is so, so cool. It’s so much better than I remember the track from my childhood.”Jericho Keys, BBC Radio York
