Sparks
is an American rock band formed in Los
Angeles in 1971 by brothers Ron (keyboards) and
Russell Mael (vocals), renamed from Halfnelson, formed in 1968. Known for their
quirky approach to songwriting. Sparks'
music is often accompanied by intelligent, sophisticated, and acerbic lyrics,
and an idiosyncratic, theatrical stage presence, typified in the contrast between
Russell's wide-eyed hyperactive frontman antics and Ron's sedentary scowling.
They are also noted for Russell Mael's falsetto voice and Ron Mael's keyboard
style. Their album
“No.1 In
Heaven” had a dramatically different sound to that of Sparks' previous seven albums. Sparks teamed up with
pioneering Italian producer Giorgio Moroder. The group
dropped the standard guitar, bass and piano from its musical palette. The new
sound was dominated by layers sequencers and synthesizers which built upon the
drums and percussion of Keith Forsey.
