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 third chapter we find Sparks in a holding pattern after their return home failed to render continued pop success. We'll be covering an unlikely shift in sound that reinvigorated the duo, removing them out of the rock clubs and into the discotheque. Followed by an embrace of new wave, but at the expense of their core identity.
