Revitalized by their association in 2015 with Franz Ferdinand (their number one fans!) on the FFS project, the Sparks give birth to a 25th album. Now in their seventies, the brothers Ron and Russell Mael haven’t lost their glam pop recipe, sugary on top but acidic on the inside. 45 years after their formation under the Californian sun, the Sparks find again the fire that inhabits some of their greatest hits. The Dantesque This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us is admittedly far away—it dates from 1974 to be precise. Even so, Hippopotamus contains enough extravagance (the director Leos Carax’s voice onWhen You’re a French Director!) and cheekiness to hold our attention. Grandiloquent chords here, minimalist disco there, electropop after that: you just have to let yourself be carried away by the silversmithery of these craftsmen that are still as inspired as before.
