Sparks claim the moon as their next ridiculous venue and somehow it sounds on-brand

Sparks announcing a live album allegedly recorded on the moon is either a joke, a concept, a marketing miracle or simply another Monday for Sparks. Live on the Moon, announced on 15 June, is billed as the Mael brothers’ first full concert LP, supposedly captured at Taruntius Crater with Cate Blanchett providing the intro and outro. The absurdity is the point. Sparks have spent more than five decades making pop music that treats theatrical exaggeration as a serious artistic tool, so a sold-out lunar crowd is less of a left turn than it should be. The first taste, Whippings and Apologies (Live on the Moon), reaches back to their 1972 catalogue while the full set spans the band’s long strange career. If most live albums say “you had to be there,” this one says “you needed a spacesuit and probably a better explanation from NASA.”
