Released in 2023, The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte finds Sparks at their sharpest and most energized in decades. Their 26th studio album is a vibrant synthesis of electro-pop minimalism and lyrical absurdism, filled with biting wit, existential unease, and theatrical flair. Songs like the title track and “Nothing Is As Good As They Say It Is” showcase the Mael brothers’ ability to pair catchy hooks with deep irony, while “Veronica Lake” and “We Go Dancing” reflect a fascination with identity and the surreal. It's a modern Sparks triumph—timelessly strange and cleverly composed.
