About this listen

Sparks – the quirky art-pop pioneers who deserve more recognition. Join Sean and Rene as they explore the eccentric world of Ron and Russell Mael, from their theatrical stage presence to their genre-defying sound. Discover why Sparks' influence spans decades, inspiring artists from the Sex Pistols to New Order to Beck. With tales of unexpected collaborations with Gorillaz and Franz Ferdinand, this episode unravels the story of a band that has always been ahead of its time. Plus, find out why Sparks is the exception to Rene’s usual disdain for comedy music. It just might convert you into a fan too if you're not already.
