Chapter 006 - A Return To Rock Music - "I'm Toast" (Sparks)

Discography Deep Dive

Welcome to season two of Discography Deep Dive. For this series Lillian "Lilz" Martin (Jukebox Zeroes) will be guiding us through the timeline of the highly influential art-pop duo of brothers Ron and Russell Mael, better known as Sparks.

In our sixth and final chapter in this arc, we reach the '10s and '20s, featuring stripped down tours, forays into the cinema, collaborations with young guns, and most importantly: a return to the quirky, eccentric blend of artsy rock music that made them glam darlings back in the 70s.
