Glam-rock / New Wave pioneers Sparks have a new album out, and it lives up as another excellent missive in their overall high-quality body of work.
For those not familiar with Sparks, I’m also going to include an old playlist I made (newly updated with songs from this album!) to today’s posting as well.
Sparks allegedly was an early inspiration for Queen (!!), they had a minor hit early on with “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For The Both of Us”.
Their biggest brush with fame was 1983’s collaboration with The Go-Go’s Jane Wiedlin “Cool Places” which was in heavy rotation on MTV.
As I mentioned their whole back catalog is awesome, and hopefully the playlist is a nice overview for the uninitiated.
