Introducing Sparks

Sparks

A hyper-polished collision of West Coast session sheen and theatrical art-pop. Dense vocal stacks meet ironic sunshine in this often-overlooked 1977 pivot.

October 1977 · Columbia

Find on Amazon

A bright, high-fidelity collision of sunshine pop aesthetics and cynical, hyper-literate wit.

Moments Worth Listening For
The dizzying wall of vocal harmonies that opens Occupation, sounding like a choir of Maels.
The frantic, vaudevillian piano break in Goofing Off that feels like a circus spinning out of control.
The surprisingly earnest melodic swell in Those Mysteries that anchors the album's eccentricities.
