About this item

Most acts, by their seventh decade in the biz, would have slowed to a crawl, creakily playing their past hits on the heritage circuit and releasing nothing more than the occasional Greatest Hits collection. This is not the case for Sparks, who have triumphantly returned yet again with 'MAD!' (via Transgressive Records), proving their resilience and relevance in a modern world with a fresh record and summer world tour to accompany it.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Bristling with the energy of the club, Sparks' brand new outing continues down their synth-heavy trajectory but this time amps the energy up with a more high-octane set of stomping anthems. Wonderfully wry, presented with humour and a top listen all round.
