Description

A flamboyant explosion of wit, falsetto, and glam-rock eccentricity, Kimono My House is the album that catapulted Sparks into cult stardom. With Russell Mael’s operatic vocals and Ron Mael’s baroque keyboard arrangements, the record blends camp theatrics with razor-sharp songwriting. From the iconic opener This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of Us to the surreal closer Equator, it’s a masterclass in pop maximalism.

This 2017 heavyweight vinyl reissue is pressed on 180g black vinyl and it revives the album’s theatrical punch with audiophile clarity. A must-have for glam collectors and art-pop archivists.
