SPARKS release video for new song ‘One For The Ages’ - Watch Now

In any sane universe, academic studies would be devoted to Ron and Russell Mael, as they are to Dylan, Bowie or The Beatles. Municipal buildings and parks would be named after them. Statues would be erected in their honour. In the mind of the convert, Sparks are that significant.

Ground-breaking pop pioneers Sparks – Los Angeleno brothers Ron and Russell Mael – have announced today’s release of their new song. ‘One For The Ages’ is available now via BMG at all DSPs and streaming services.

“Who among us doesn’t feel the need to be involved with One For The Ages, either in a creative endeavour, a personal relationship or as the next Michael Jordan?” – Ron Mael
