MAD!

Sparks, brothers Ron and Russell Mael, are back with their 28th album ‘MAD!’ on May 23rd 2025, their first release with Transgressive Records.

“Ron and Russell Mael advance the quiet Sparks renaissance with MAD!… with a new suite of maverick pop set pieces. Across the LP, the duo applies its theatrically acerbic sensibility to topics including tattoos, banter, and the rise of influencers” — Pitchfork

Most acts, by their seventh decade in the biz, would have slowed to a crawl, creakily playing their past hits on the heritage circuit and releasing nothing more than the occasional Greatest Hits collection. This is not the case for Sparks, who have triumphantly returned yet again, proving their resilience and relevance in a modern world with a fresh record and summer world tour to accompany it.
