Paul Epworth's productions of pop musicians contain development of the tricks he used on the discs by post-punk revivalists, such as Maximo Park. He emphasized the space on these records, so no surprise he still does the same. Of course, he also got to work with the bands, which followed the traditions, where these sorts of soundscapes prevailed. Thus, Maximo Park, since we mentioned them, sonically resemble many of their influences, though they differ from them in their lyricism, they're closer to either The Smiths or Pulp. Unsurpringly, these two disparate approaches function properly, but we shouldn't be shocked over this. The former were post punk in all but a name, whereas the latter felt like a group whose words could fit any scene.
