Released in 2020, A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip is Sparks’ 24th studio album, continuing their legacy of witty lyricism, genre experimentation, and sharp social commentary. Balancing synth-pop sensibilities with art-rock eccentricity, the album explores topics ranging from technological overreach to environmental anxiety, all with the Mael brothers' signature irony and theatricality. Tracks like “I’m Toast” and “Iphone” highlight their ability to stay relevant while retaining their uniquely off-kilter perspective. The album was praised for its inventive sound and lyrical cleverness, reaffirming Sparks' role as enduring innovators in modern pop music.
