Sparks

Add Date: January 20

Artist: Sparks

Album: Exotic Creatures of the Deep

Label: Lil' Beethoven Records

Genre: Other

Comments:Despite being the 21st studio album (21!!!!) from Sparks, “Exotic Creatures of the Deep”, is still as absurdly quirky and catchy as they come—best described by Terrorbird as “pop-opera, rock and high drama…all the aptly titled songs…make you feel like you’re in the midst of a weird collision between an old piano bar and a glass ball spinning disco club”. The first track, if this gives you any indication, is cheery piano plus falsetto vocals plus “good morning” repeated multiple times, sometimes in other languages. Clearly not everyone’s cup of tea, but undeniably interesting—start with 4, 5, and 12.
