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.

For our fourth chapter we join Sparks' turbulent journey through the latter half of the 1980s, only to emerge creatively invigorated, and experiencing critical and commercial success via the dance clubs once again. We'll also touch upon some brief forays into the film industry, a strange variety of tribute record, and prelude to one of the most important works of their career.
