Sparks’ Ron and Russell Mael first burst onto the scene more than 50 years ago with the smash hit This Town Ain’t Big Enough For The Both of Us and their accompanying 1974 LP ‘Kimono My House’. Since then they’ve found it hard to stand still, with a string of critically and commercially successful records setting the table for a late-career purple patch encompassing some of their finest work and cool side quests such as their FFS collaboration with Franz Ferdinand and Edgar Wright’s documentary on the group. ‘MAD!’ builds upon this run and, for a pair in their 70s, their creativity still astounds.

Skunk Anansie will not accept a future as a relic. Although their Glastonbury-conquering commercial peak was decades ago, and there’s been a further nine-year drought without an album, there’s nothing about their comeback that indicates they’ve become rusty.

Spellling’s passion for making music is literally a part of her. When Chrystia Cabral video calls me from her living room in Oakland, the singer-songwriter’s piano is in the background to her left. Inside of it is an engraving of a flower. She doesn’t know who left it there but, after years of playing the instrument, she got the symbol tattooed on her throat — as close to her vocal cords as she could. “My poor mom was like, ‘What are you doing?’” she says with a laugh. “But it felt like a sigil: a way to honour and solidify the path I set for myself. I feel like I found my voice and found a lot of freedom through having this thing to dedicate my life to.”
