Welcome to season two of Discography Deep Dive. For this series Lillian "Lilz" Martin (Jukebox Zeroes) will be guiding us through the timeline of the highly influential art-pop duo of brothers Ron and Russell Mael, better known as Sparks.

In our second chapter we find Sparks at their greatest commercial peak; the duo's glam rock period. We cover the Mael Brothers' relocation overseas during which they enjoy mainstream success throughout the United Kingdom, their gradual regress in popularity, leading to a return to the United States, and their first tastes of negative critical reaction.
