Tin Pan Alley- and classic pop-inflected melodies are just one of the idiosyncrasies of Maxwell Farrington's arty, theatrical alternative songs. His 2018 album Demandez l'Impossible consisted of whimsical, video game-like electronic instrumentals, while his 2021 collaboration with Le SuperHomard relied on his resonant baritone voice on a set that drew on common influences such as Sean O'Hagan and Scott Walker. That partnership continued with releases including 2024's somewhat lusher Please, Wait…, which was recorded with classical musicians.
