Our Take

Get ready to dive deep into the quirky, off-kilter world of Sparks with their album "Exotic Creatures Of The Deep" in this double vinyl edition. This album is like taking a trip to a carnival on Mars - it's strange, it's wild, and it's bound to leave you scratching your head in the best way possible.

From the moment you drop the needle on this record, you're transported into a whirlwind of sound that is equal parts bizarre and brilliant. Ron and Russell Mael have crafted a collection of songs that defy categorization, blending elements of pop, rock, and avant-garde in a way that only they can pull off.

Tracks like "Lighten Up, Morrissey" and "Good Morning" are prime examples of the band's signature wit and irreverence, with lyrics that will have you chuckling while simultaneously pondering the state of the world. And let's not forget about the infectious hooks and catchy melodies that will have you humming along for days.

But what truly sets this album apart is the sheer audacity of Sparks' musical vision. They're not afraid to take risks, to push boundaries, and to create music that's as challenging as it is rewarding. So if you're looking for an album that will surprise, delight, and confound you in equal measure, look no further than "Exotic Creatures Of The Deep." It's a wild ride that you won't soon forget.

About the artist

Sparks

SPARKS, the eccentric and genre-bending duo, have been making waves in the music industry for over 50 years. Comprised of brothers Ron and Russell Mael, the band has consistently challenged the boundaries of traditional pop music with their unique blend of rock, electronic, and classical influences. With a discography spanning over 25 albums, SPARKS have cultivated a dedicated fan base and earned critical acclaim for their innovative songwriting and theatrical live performances. From their breakout hit "This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us" to their recent collaboration with producer extraordinaire Franz Ferdinand on the album FFS, the Mael brothers have shown no signs of slowing down. Known for their wry and surreal lyrics, quirky stage personas, and striking visual aesthetics, SPARKS continue to push the envelope and defy expectations with each new release. Whether they're exploring existential themes in concept albums like Lil' Beethoven or delivering infectious pop hooks on tracks like "The Number One Song in Heaven," the duo never fails to captivate listeners with their unique brand of musical storytelling. In an industry that often values conformity over creativity, SPARKS stand out as true originals, unafraid to take risks and chart their own path. With a career that has spanned decades and influenced countless artists across genres, it's clear that the Mael brothers are not just music legends, but innovators whose impact will be felt for generations to come.
