Beach House chose "Sparks" to introduce Depression Cherry, their fifth album, playing it on SiriusXMU and releasing it through Sub Pop on July 1, 2015, with a visualizer on their YouTube channel the same day. The dream pop duo weren't chasing a hit; they picked it as a bridge between everything they had done before and where the new record was headed, and slotted it second in the running order.
It started with a keyboard Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally picked up in Texas during a break from making their 2012 album Bloom; Legrand credits a wild sound from that machine with getting the song going. They recorded it at Studio in the Country in Bogalusa, Louisiana, producing and mixing with Chris Coady. Legrand wrote the words and the music with Scally, Christopher Bear plays drums and David Tolomei engineered.
