Sparks have shared a new video for “Porcupine.” The travk is off their forthcoming album MADDER!, and stars musician and songwriter Self Esteem. Directed by Fred Rowson and produced by Blink Productions, with special effects by Selected Works, the video release follows Ron and Russell’s surprise appearance with Gorillaz at the Copper Box Arena in London, and coincides with the North American leg of their band’s MAD! Tour. MADDER! is the companion to their EP MAD!,

“Not wanting the Mad!ness to end and buoyed by the phenomenal reaction to MAD!, we made a hasty but intense retreat to the studio to record a Sparks first: an EP,” the band says. “MADDER!, a four-song companion piece to the album, is for everyone who isn’t yet MAD! enough. We hope these new songs will take you to an even MADDER! place.”

MADDER! arrives after their tours of Europe and Japan earlier this year. Sparks’ North American tour continues tonight in Philadelphia, and includes concerts in Los Angeles, Boston, New York, Seattle, San Francisco, and more. A full list of dates is below.
