Description
The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte marks Sparks first release on the venerable Island Records label in close to five decades, following such classics as 1974s landmark Kimono My House, highlighted of course by the indelible hit single This Town Aint Big Enough For Both Of Us. The new album is described by Ron and Russell Mael as a record that is as bold and uncompromising as anything we did back then or, for that matter, anytime throughout our career. The album includes such instantly intriguing new musical vignettes as Mona Lisas Packing, Leaving Late Tonight and Nothing Is As Good As They Say It Is, songs which once again display Sparks seemingly ceaseless ability to craft complete, intricately detailed stories within perfect three-and-a- half minute pop masterpieces. Both characteristically timeless and unequivocally modern, The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte once again affirms that, after more than a half century making such masterpieces, Sparks remain inimitable, ingenious and, as ever, utterly one of a kind.
We met Cate Blanchett in Paris at the César Awards last year, little knowing that a year later, one of the great actors of our time (and a splendid person!) would graciously consent to lending her bootie-shaking skills to the first video from our new album, The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte. Dreams really do come true. We will sleep well tonight knowing that forever we can say we co-starred in a film with Cate Blanchett! say Ron and Russell Mael.
We are thrilled to be back on tour again and to be able to share our joy with so many Sparks fans around the world, say Sparks. See you all soon! Its a Sparks show, a Sparks show, a Sparks show tonight!
