Kimono My House

Sparks · 1974

Kimono My House is a precise, high-wire pop record. It uses limited tools — Rickenbacker bass, Echoplex-delayed Electra-Piano, angular guitar — to build ten tightly wound songs. Its wit is structural, not lyrical. Its drama is in timing, not volume. It does not invite affection. It demands attention.
