The Sparks are an unbeatable pop duo with a cult following around the world. Since their album debut in 1971, the duo, consisting of brothers Ron and Russell Mair, has consistently created a sound world that is recognizable as Sparks, while incorporating the pop music of the era into their own, from glam to power pop, electro to dance pop, and even chamber pop. In 2017, they released their 23rd studio album, \"HIPPOPOTAMUS\", and have frequently performed in Japan, including a concert in Japan in 2017 and a solo show at Midnight Sonic \u0026amp; Summer Sonic '18 in 2018, They are still very active, and in July of this year, they commented on Twitter that they were \"working on a new album. In July of this year, they announced on Twitter that they are \"working on a new album.\" This \"best of\" album tracing their career spanning (almost) half a century will be released.
