I know it's 6 months in front of us but its Sparks and one can rejoice. I know GodsComic is attempting to pre-order as he reads this.

Love the cover, fits right in with the great covers that they had made over the decades.

Description
Musical mavericks Sparks - Californian brothers Ron and Russell Mael – will release their 22nd studio album ‘Hippopotamus’ in 2017. Described as “the smartest, most consistently evolving band in the history of rock”, and internationally acclaimed as pop pioneers, Sparks are name-checked as a major influence on musicians as varied as Morrissey, Bjork, The Ramones, Faith No More, Sonic Youth, and Nirvana. Sparks’ music has always been innovative and instantly identifiable. Recorded in Los Angeles, ‘Hippopotamus’ sees them take the pop form, shake it up, and create an album that is adventurous, fresh and idiosyncratically ‘Sparks’.

You know me well Rick.
And there is this

I trust Linda will update this thread, but the pre-order link came today.

Although the below link for AmazWAN UK link is live (below), one may wish to buy it directly from their site to score an "exclusive 7 inch single" included with the first 1,000 orders there. Not sure if the 7" is exclusive songs or just exclusive format, but it's a chance I had to take.

Thanks My friend. I pre-ordered the Hippopotamus CD/T shirt Multi Buy.

If the music is as good as the cover and the song titles, this will be great.

I've come to the same conclusion Glenn or better yet, prediction.

Here's the promo video proper:
