Sparks, d v s bröderna Ron och Russell Mael, släpper idag ‘Drowned in a Sea of Tears’, som är tredje singeln från albumet "MAD!" (23 maj, Transgressive Records).
LYSSNA PÅ "DROWNED IN A SEA OF TEARS" (release 2 april kl 18:00).
Bandet adderade nyligen fler datum till sin europaturné och nu utannonserar man dessutom den nordamerikanska delen av MAD!-turnén. I Sverige får vi möjligheten att njuta av Sparks på Gröna Lund den 4 juli. Fullständig turnéplan här.
Skivbolaget, Transgressive Records, skriver så här om den nya singeln:
On the heels of the “sweeping, theatrical breakup tune” (Stereogum) ‘JanSport Backpack’, ‘Drowned in a Sea of Tears is a minor key mini-tragedy about the perils of emotional continence, of the stiff upper lip, of keeping it all in. The protagonist keeps her emotional landscape guarded behind high walls, and the narrator is unable to be her saviour. Unusually, for a Sparks song, there is no punchline, no twist in the tale. The accompanying video is a visual theater piece about a woman succumbing to her tears of grief.
