< Brothers Ron and Russell Mael from Los Angeles, USA have been making diverse music since 1969 under various incarnations of Sparks. In 1979 they ditched the guitars and keyboards of glam geek rock and started working with Italian producer Giorgio Moroder, beginning a love affair with electronic music. Since then they have worked with a variety of people including Finitribe, Les Rita Mitsouko, Erasure, Faith No More and Franz Ferdinand. >

I don’t mind Sparks and found this collab with Franz Ferdinand a few years back pretty ok too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFS_(album)

Fantastic duo. Love the diversity of their music. "This town aint big enough for the both of us" is one of the best songs i have ever listened to.
