The Sparks Brothers
There aren't many bands who arrive at their 50th anniversary on a creative roll, still luring in new generations of fans, making Top 10 albums, and doing so by releasing music every bit as challenging and inventive as their earliest recordings. As Sparks, Ron and Russell Mael are rock's original odd couple, as inscrutable as they are fascinating. Never content to rest on their laurels or follow musical trends, they have achieved commercial success only intermittently, and almost despite themselves. Edgar Wright's new documentary captures the art-pop pioneers at an improbable late-career high, recounting the story of how they got there, asking why they aren't as celebrated as they deserve to be, and finding out how they became your favorite band's favorite band.
