Alan Sparhawk of Low announces his debut solo album, White Roses, My God

16 July 2024, 15:09 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

Low's Alan Sparhawk has announced his debut solo album, White Roses, My God, alongside the lead single, "Can U Hear".

Recorded at 20 Below Studios in Duluth, MN, White Roses, My God was co-produced and engineered by Alan Sparhawk and Nat Harvie, mixed by Nat Harvie, and mastered by Heba Kadry. The album features standout singles “Get Still” and “Heaven,” alongside today’s release offering, “Can U Hear,” the video for which was directed by Rick Alverson.

There is no question that White Roses, My God is a record borne of grief. However, the album is an exorcism whose purpose is not to banish the spirit but to set it free.

Though he’s best known for his thirty years in the legendary band Low, a look at Sparhawk’s many side projects across that same span of time shows him experimenting with everything from punk and funk to production work and improvisation. Low itself never settled for a set sound or approach. The band was always a collaboration—a conversation, a romance—between Sparhawk and his wife, Mimi Parker, who was the band’s co-founder, drummer, and co-lead vocalist. Parker passed away in 2022 after a long battle with cancer.

Tracklist:

  1. Get Still
  2. I Made This Beat
  3. Not the 1
  4. Can U Hear
  5. Heaven
  6. Brother
  7. Black Water
  8. Feel Something
  9. Station
  10. Somebody Else’s Room
  11. Project 4 Ever

White Roses, My God is set for release on 27 September, and is available to pre-order now from Sub Pop.
