Our Take

It's time to turn the nostalgia dial to 11 and revisit the electrifying world of Sparks with their iconic album "Kimono My House." Known for their eccentricity and offbeat charm, this album is a wild ride from start to finish.

The Mael brothers, Ron and Russell, deliver a captivating blend of glam rock, art pop, and new wave that feels both ahead of its time and wonderfully retro. From the infectious energy of "This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us" to the eccentric storytelling of "Hasta Manana, Monsieur," each track is a mini-masterpiece in its own right.

"Kimono My House" is a sonic kaleidoscope that never fails to surprise and delight. The Mael brothers' quirky lyrics and theatrical delivery are matched only by their impeccable musicianship and innovative production.

With its razor-sharp wit and genre-bending sound, this album is a testament to Sparks' enduring brilliance and influence on the music world. So grab your kimonos and get ready to dance the night away with one of the most distinctive albums of the 1970s.

In conclusion, "Kimono My House" is a true classic that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. Sparks may be criminally underrated, but this album proves that their talent is truly timeless. So crank up the volume and let the Sparks fly!
