Description
Groundbreaking band Sparks was founded by brothers Ron and Russell Mael in 1969. Recognised across the globe, their career spans over 25 distinctive albums and is the perfect lesson in how to stay relevant in the music industry for over half a century. Releasing their eponymous full-length debut in 1972, the Los Angeles natives relocated to London where they released their breakout album Kimono My House, which remains influential to this day. Setting the tone for the innovative, individualistic, and irresistible work that was to follow, Sparks has since created a lasting legacy as a pioneering pop group with their studio albums and live appearances.
With 2006 conceptual effort Hello Young Lovers, the brothers proved without a doubt that they were indeed the maestros of music with moments of sheer beauty, frenzy, dissonance, harmony, pure geniusit rocks! Their 20th album, Hello Young Lovers offers a mix of easyjet-bright mock-operatics, multi-layer vocals, cinevision strings, and robots playing synthesizers; really, theres no possible way of having this much fun without getting the chorus of Handels Messiah drunk on peach schnapps. Suppose Lloyd Webber decided to collaborate with Justin Hawkins. Now imagine if both of them were great (NME).
