Kimono My House

Released

Sparks’s first big commercial breakthrough happened in the UK rather than in their home country, but what a breakthrough it was: Kimono My House became one of the canonical glam rock albums, a skilled set of local musicians providing the rampaging kick that transformed the Maels’ songs into anthems in spite of themselves. “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For the Both of Us” was the monster hit in particular but the merry mania of “Talent Is An Asset,” the hysterical “Here in Heaven” and the album ending wind-down “Equator” aren’t far behind.
