Sprites are an independent new wave/indie pop music group from Maryland, United States. Their lineup is ever-changing, with only the founding members (the husband-wife duo of Jason Korzen, formerly of Barcelona, and Amy Korzen) staying constant. Contributors include Christian Scanniello, Ivan Ramiscal, Kevin Alvir, Armin Pruessner, Derek Strausbaugh, and Reid Dossinger.
Sprites was formed in 2002 by Jason Korzen following the breakup of Barcelona. The band released the album Starling, Spiders, Tiger and Sprites in 2003 on March Records. It contains a cover of the song "It Changes" from the film Snoopy Come Home. They have done some touring, including a United States tour with The Lucksmiths.
Sprites' second album, Modern Gameplay, was released in August 2006 through Darla Records.
