Our Take

With their latest offering, SPARKS proves that after more than five decades in the industry, they still have plenty of drip left in the tank. "A Steady Drip. Drip. Drip." is a masterclass in genre-blurring experimentation, with the Mael brothers effortlessly blending elements of pop, rock, and electronica into a captivating sonic tapestry.

From the infectious grooves of "All That" to the whimsical charm of "Lawnmower," this album is a testament to SPARKS' boundless creativity and refusal to be pigeonholed. The duo's trademark wit and lyrical acumen are on full display throughout, with Russell Mael's distinctive falsetto soaring above Ron Mael's intricate arrangements.

Tracks like "Stravinsky's Only Hit" and "Pacific Standard Time" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly weave together classical influences with modern production techniques, resulting in a sound that is both timeless and cutting-edge. Meanwhile, "Please Don't Fuck Up My World" is a poignant plea for environmental preservation wrapped in a catchy, danceable package.

Ultimately, "A Steady Drip. Drip. Drip." is a testament to SPARKS' enduring relevance and creative vitality. In an industry obsessed with youth and trends, the Mael brothers continue to march to the beat of their own drum, producing music that is as innovative and exciting as ever. Long live SPARKS, the true pioneers of pop.
