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 fifth chapter we join Sparks coming off another creative rut, only to throw all semblances of contemporary pop out the window and emerge with one of the most acclaimed works of their career. We also touch upon new experiments in old sounds, an incredibly prolific concert series, and newfound success in the oft unheard of radio musical.
