The Sparks Brothers
Waxwork Records, in partnership with Back Lot Music and Focus Features, is proud to present Edgar Wrights The Sparks
Brothers Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. Pressed to 180-gram vinyl on two vinyl variants of "Pink" or "Black and
White Marble" colored vinyl, this deluxe 4xLP includes 42 tracks that take us on a journey through five decades of music
with Sparks brothers, Ron and Russell Mael.
The Sparks Brothers is a 2021 documentary directed by Edgar Wright and produced by Edgar Wright and Nira Park. Wright
often uses music as a fundamental part of his filmmaking, drawing especially from popular music. He was inspired to
create a film about the brothers after a life-long obsession with the band. Spending much of their personal lives out of
the public eye, this riveting documentary finally sheds light on the Sparks brothers in an intimate way. With commentary
by stars like Beck, Thurston Moore, Flea, Duran Duran, and Jack Antonoff, we discover how much of an influence the
brothers had over the cinematic and musical world. "If you want to look at Ron and Russell, you have to look at them
through one prism. And that prism is cinema." - Alex Kapranos, Franz Ferdinand
Formed five decades ago, Sparks is a pop-rock band comprised of two brothers, Ron and Russell Mael. The ever-evolving
band has always stayed at the forefront of modern pop by changing its music styles and visual presentation. With 25
creative and bold albums under their belt, the pop duo has influenced and set the tone for many bands to follow.
"Because Sparks went off and did completely different things, they planted the seed and others picked up on it and
carried it on, as Sparks went off in another direction. They truly opened musical paths," says producer George Hencken
(Soul Boys of the Western World).
Waxwork is thrilled to present the vinyl release of The Sparks Brothers as a 4xLP deluxe album package featuring 180
gram "Pink" or "Black and White Marble" colored vinyl, exclusive liner notes by Edgar Wright, and The Sparks Brothers
themselves, Ron and Russell Mael, an eight-page booklet, and an 11"x17" poster, all housed in a deluxe heavyweight
four-pocket book-style gatefold jacket with matte satin finish with design and layout by Matt Needle. The soundtrack
features classic hits by Sparks, including live recordings and a lyric reading by Neil Gaiman.
