so recently i was like “hey i should probably stop listening to Sparks constantly, let’s jump back in time and check out some primo 70s power pop that i have not yet heard”. one of the bands i caught wind of went by the name of the Quick, who put out an album in the mid 70s called “Mondo Deco”. so i was like “oh cool power pop” and listened to it.

turns out these guys might as well be FUCKING Sparks Jr.!! jesus listen to these guys!! turns out they were produced by Earle Mankey, one of the original members of Sparks. all starts to make sense. i cannot escape that band, ever.

still a fun album, though. it’s like teenage Sparks! Sparks by way of the Bay City Rollers! what the hell!!
