Sparks - Kimono my House - 1974


Sparks, is a duo consisting of brothers Ron and Russell Mael, who used their appearance (one wears a suit and a pencil 'stache, the other looks like an uglier and glammier Roger Daltry) and their strange piano driven songs to scoot right into England's glam scene in the 70s. Musically think Bowie and Eno, with a tiny little hint of prog (but not the masturbatory variety), and an American guy singing like a British guy with a falsetto. This album, its title being a play on Rosemary Clooney's song "Come-on-a my house," is considered to be their best and I happen to agree. WILL YOU?
