Bright Sparks

I Monster

A lush, conceptual tribute to the inventors of early synthesizers. Warm analog pulses and vocoded storytelling create a museum of sound that feels alive.

It's a gorgeous, synth-drenched history lesson that sounds like a lost 70s prog-pop masterpiece.

A reverent and whimsical celebration of technological wonder and the ghosts of the analog past.
