A documentary on Sparks titled A Shower of Sparks aired on BBC Radio 4 today. The documentary, hosted by Stuart Maconie, features Ron and Russell Mael talking about the old days and the evolution of the band. Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore also had a few glowing words to say about Sparks, saying he was intrigued by them, and called their 1974 album Kimono My House, "a really sort of classic, contemporary rock record," comparing it to David Bowie and Roxy Music.

Sparks are currently working on their 22nd studio album.
