The Mountain, the new album from Gorillaz - which includes the single ‘HAPPY DICTATOR (feat. SPARKS)’ - is out now ⚡️
Two nights at The Hollywood Palladium with Gorillaz ⚡️
Ron & Russell bid a fond farewell to Michael Silverblatt, host and creator of @kcrw.com’s famed radio show Bookworm for which Michael had Sparks create the opening and closing themes. Michael will be missed by many, but his legacy in the literary world lives on.

The album saw Sparks making a cameo appearance on Gilmore Girls performing ‘Perfume’ + appearing on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross with the apparently controversial single ‘Dick Around.’
Album cover concept was by Ron & Russell, and promo photos were taken by Aaron Rapoport.

We are saddened by the passing of Hilly Boy Michaels. He was Sparks’ drummer during the Big Beat (1976) era, but stayed in the “Sparks realm” throughout the years. Our thoughts are with his friends and family.
