Welcome to season two of Discography Deep Dive. For this series Lillian "Lilz" Martin (Jukebox Zeroes) will be guiding us through the timeline of the highly influential art-pop duo of brothers Ron and Russell Mael, better known as Sparks. In our sixth and final chapter in this arc, we reach the '10s and '20s, featuring stripped down tours, forays into the cinema, collaborations with young guns, and most importantly: a return to the quirky, eccentric blend of artsy rock music that made them glam darlings back in the 70s.

In 2020 Discography Deep Dive returns with an a new host and a new band. In our second season Lilz Martin of Jukebox Zeroes joins us to lead us through the timeline of Sparks, the musical project of brothers Ron and Russell Mael, a highly influential act whose sound has seamlessly transitioned throughout the decades, and a group whose critical acclaim and ability to innovate has far outweighed their mainstream success in their home country.

In the first season finale of Discography Deep Dive, A Moon Shaped Pool, solo albums, film scores, and the future are all discussed amongst both the sadness and celebration that has come to Radiohead in the years 2012-2019.

In the second part of episode six, we cover the touring and reception of "In Rainbows", side projects, and Radiohead's (and their fans') response to a global tragedy. In the process, the band manages to release a groove-oriented new album and tour behind it only to soon experience a tragedy far closer to home. In this episode, we cover the years 2007-2012 in the life of Radiohead.
