About Sparks

Hometown

Pacific Palisades, CA, United States

Formed

1970

Genre

Pop

Mit ihrem experimentellen, bunten Art-Pop beeinflussten die Sparks Musiker wie die Pet Shop Boys oder Björk. Die Kultband um die Brüder Ron und Russell Mael streifte über die Jahrzehnte zahlreiche Genres: Ihr Durchbruchsalbum Kimono My House (1974) baute auf Glam-Rock, später setzten sich die Sparks mit Power-Pop (Indiscreet, 1975) oder Electro-Pop (No. 1 in Heaven, 1979) auseinander. In den Neunzigern baute sie House- und Techno-Elemente ein (Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins, 1994), in den 2000ern waren sie mit klassischer Musik (Lil' Beethoven, 2002) und einem Musical (The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman, 2009) noch abenteuerlustiger. 2015 nahmen sie mit der Indie-Band Franz Ferdinand das gemeinsame Album FFS auf, dann kamen sie mit den kreativen Pop-Alben Hippopotamus (2017) und A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip (2020) wieder in die englischen Top Ten.

Members of Sparks include, or have included, Josh Klinghoffer, Ron Mael, Russell Mael and more.
