Sparks – One For The Ages

In any sane universe, academic studies would be devoted to Ron and Russell Mael, as they are to Dylan, Bowie or The Beatles.

Municipal buildings and parks would be named after them. Statues would be erected in their honour.

In the mind of the convert, Sparks are that significant.

 

Ground-breaking pop pioneers Sparks – Los Angeleno brothers Ron and Russell Mael – have announced today’s release of their new song.

‘One For The Ages’ is available now via BMG at all DSPs and streaming services.

The career of Ron and Russell Mael is an immaculate lesson in how to stay consistently interesting for fifty years.

Now entering their sixth decade, Sparks will celebrate A STEADY DRIP, DRIP, DRIP with a brief series of European live dates,

to be followed next year by an epic 2021 world tour. This year will also see the eagerly awaited premiere of Annette,

the first English-language film from groundbreaking French director Leos Carax (Holy Motors, Pola X), written by

Ron and Russell Mael and starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard.

In addition, director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Baby Driver) is putting the final touches to his

long-in-the-making Sparks documentary, an as-yet-untitled feature-length film celebrating this singular band.
