No. of Paragraph 12

Listening to it today, it’s still hard to believe that Sparks scored a U.K Top 5 hit in 1974 with a record as boldly eclectic as their third album, Kimono My House. Co-founded by brothers Ron and Russell Mael, the Californian band’s first two albums, Halfnelson and A Woofer In Tweeter’s Clothing achieved only moderate success in the U.S., but a successful U.K. tour to support the latter significantly built up Sparks’ British fan base and resulted in a deal with Island Records.

Consequently, the Mael brothers moved their base from Los Angeles to London, where they recruited a new lineup – bassist Martin Gordon, guitarist Adrian Fisher, and drummer Norman ‘Dinky’ Diamond – to play on Sparks’ next recordings. They opened their Island account in style by releasing Kimono My House’s trailer single, “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us”: a magnificently tense, cinematic vignette which U.K. broadsheet The Guardian explained was “a three-minute warning that Sparks was a band different from any other – with octave leaping vocals, gunshots, incomprehensible lyrics, and an unrelenting sense of drama.”

Listen to the Sparks album Kimono My House now.

As the exhilarating “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us” climbed to No. 2 and its follow-up “Amateur Hour” also went Top 10, Sparks appeared on numerous U.K. music shows including Top Of The Pops. However, while Russell’s hyperactive stage presence and acrobatic falsetto and keyboardist Ron’s unsmiling demeanor and Charlie Chaplin mustache cemented their band’s singular visual identity, it was only when the wider public heard Kimono My House in its entirety that they realized just how ambitious – and fearless – Sparks really were.
