Formed during their time studying at University and Art School in Cologne, the city that birthed the likes of Krautrock, SPARKLING’s debut LP ‘I Want To See Everything’, a jagged, quick-witted set of ten pop-flecked multilingual post-punk tunes that was co-produced by Andy Ramsay of Stereolab, soon breaking them out of Germany and attracting widespread support across the BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 music airwaves in 2019. Their hot, heavy and sweat-drenched live shows all over Europe from the beginning of the band’s existence, quickly left an influential mark on the band’s songwriting by including English, German and French in their lyrics. After getting remixed by Digitalism and with LCD Soundsystem’s Al Doyle and Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard on production reins for their 2022 EP “This Is My Life / Das Ist Mein Leben / C ́est Ma Vie”, and their highly expected second album „We Are Here To Make You Feel“ on Moshi Moshi Records (UK) in 2023, SPARKLING’s remarkable progression continued, seeing the band giddily moving further towards the center of the dancefloor - and getting invited to play SXSW, The Great Escape, Eurosonic Festival or to open on tour for Metronomy and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.
