Brothers Ron and Russell Mael from Los Angeles, USA have been making diverse music since 1969 under various incarnations of Sparks. In 1979 they ditched the guitars and keyboards of glam geek rock and started working with Italian producer Giorgio Moroder, beginning a love affair with electronic music.
Since then they have collaborated with a variety of artists including Finitribe, Les Rita Mitsouko, Erasure, Faith No More and Franz Ferdinand. Their innovative approach to music has earned them a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim throughout their career.
With their unique blend of genres and unmistakable style, Sparks continue to push boundaries in the world of music. Whether it's through their captivating live performances or their thought-provoking lyrics, this iconic duo remains an influential force in the industry.

Produced by German Reinhold Mack (ELO, Queen), and released in May 1982. Eleventh career album hailed by author Daryl Easlea in his 2009 biography (‘Talent Is An Asset: The Story Of Sparks’) as ‘their best LP from the Eighties’. A Billboard Top 200 album, charting at No.172. Rolling Stone stated that Angst was "More fun than a case of domestic champagne… positively effervescent with Europop fizz and California folly". Features breakthrough US single ‘I Predict’, their biggest US hit to that date at Number 60.
