Sparks - Veronica Lake

If you don’t know Californian duo Sparks yet, then you’re in for a treat because you’ll have a substantial back catalog to explore, with some gems and personal favs like Gratuitous Sax & Senseless Violins and Kimono My House to just mention two of their 25 full-length studio albums. To get an instant taste of what you’re up to, listen to the brothers Ron and Russell Mael, aka Sparks’s brand new single “Veronica Lake,” which showcases the duo’s infectious pop-sensibilities beautifully. They take ‘pop’ seriously, as the fun lyrics demonstrate:

And they all do want to be Veronica Lake
But that peek-a-boo-y hair, it’s a big mistake
As the foreman has to yell, “put on the brake”
Yet another girl caught, Veronica Lake

Their upcoming 26th album, The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte, is available to pre-order/pre-save, out on May 26 via Island Records. Catch Sparks on tour here.
