Dark Sparks | We are just flies

Available on the jukebox now

Admittedly this is my first taste of Sheffield natives Dark Sparks. New single “We Are Just Flies” has a claustraphobic, darkly 80’s feel to it. Think along the lines of Depeche Mode and The Cure.

Saucer – 5:58

Available on the _DbR_ Jukebox
