Alan Sparhawk

Alan Sparhawk's White Roses, My God offers a deeply personal exploration of grief and creativity. The album reflects the impact of the passing of Sparhawk's wife, Mimi Parker, from cancer in 2022. Known for his role in Low, Sparhawk's latest work showcases his willingness to dive into new sonic landscapes. Each track is crafted solely by Sparhawk, who used a range of new tools and techniques to build this intimate record. The album's experimental nature echoes influences from artists like Childish Gambino and 100 Gecs, with hints of Neil Young's Trans in its approach. On tracks like 'Feel Something,' Sparhawk employs a vocoder to challenge conventional emotional expression, creating a raw and engaging sound. Despite its innovative edges, White Roses, My God maintains a connection to Sparhawk's previous work while pushing boundaries. This record invites listeners into a new chapter of his musical journey, blending heartfelt lyrics with experimental beats.
