Sparks, brothers Ron and Russell Mael, make their opening gambit for 2025 with the release of „Do Things My Own Way“. A teaser for their 28th studio album, „MAD!“ – due this year on new label home, Transgressive Records – the single also functions as something of a manifesto for the Maels – Sparks are a band who have always, always done things their own way. Most acts, by the time they’ve been making music together across seven different decades, would have slowed to a crawl, creakily playing the oldies on the heritage circuit and releasing nothing more modern than the occasional Greatest Hits collection. Sparks aren’t most acts. And, if anything, their rate of productivity has sped up in recent years: since the millennium the duo have released eight new studio albums, a radio opera (The Seduction Of Ingmar Bergman), a side-project (Franz Ferdinand collaboration, ‘FFS’), a live album, a film musical (2021’s Annette, which won a ‘Best Director award for Leos Carax and the Best Original Score at the César Awards for the Maels), toured the world numerous times, and been the subject of The Sparks Brothers, an acclaimed documentary by Edgar Wright. Their laurels remain resoundingly unrested-upon.
