Sparks released an album earlier this year called Mad!, and they’ve now announced its companion EP: Madder! is out October 3 via Transgressive. Below, listen to the EP’s first song, “Porcupine.”
“Not wanting the Mad!ness to end and buoyed by the phenomenal reaction to Mad!, we made a hasty but intense retreat to the studio to record a Sparks first: an EP,” Sparks’ Ron and Russell Mael said in a statement. “Madder!, a four-song companion piece to the album, is for everyone who isn’t yet Mad! enough. We hope these new songs will take you to an even Madder! place.”
Later this week, Sparks begin the North American leg of their tour in support of Mad! The kickoff show is in Atlanta on September 5, and the tour ends on September 30 in Los Angeles.
