A restless soul eager to explore unfamiliar sonic and psychic terrain. Though he’s obviously (and justifiably) best-known for his thirty years as frontman of the legendary band \u003cstrong\u003eLow,\u003c\/strong\u003e a look at \u003cstrong\u003eSparhawk’s \u003c\/strong\u003emany side projects across that same span of time shows him experimenting with everything from punk and funk to production work and improvisation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow\u003c\/strong\u003e itself never settled for a set sound or approach. The band was always a collaboration—a conversation, a romance—between \u003cstrong\u003eSparhawk \u003c\/strong\u003eand his wife, \u003cstrong\u003eMimi Parker\u003c\/strong\u003e, who was the band’s co-founder, drummer, co-lead vocalist, and its blazing irreplaceable heart. To take the journey from\u003cstrong\u003e Low’s \u003c\/strong\u003ehushed early work, through the tremendous melodies of their middle period, all the way to the late lush chaos of their final albums, is to witness heads, hearts, and spirits in an act of perpetual becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParker \u003c\/strong\u003epassed away in 2022 after a long battle with cancer, and there is no question that \u003cstrong\u003eWhite Roses, My God\u003c\/strong\u003e is a record borne of grief. You can hear it in the title, as well as tracks such as “\u003cstrong\u003eHeaven”\u003c\/strong\u003e, in which \u003cstrong\u003eSparhawk\u003c\/strong\u003e describes the afterlife, wrenchingly, as “\u003cem\u003ea lonely place if you’re alone.”\u003c\/em\u003e You can sense it too in \u003cstrong\u003eSparhawk’s \u003c\/strong\u003edecision to create this thing entirely on his own: every note, every lyric, every programmed beat. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt would be reductive, even foolish, to see grief as the sole source or the final limit of this taut, brilliant, provocative, thrilling album, whose bold experimentation is powered by profound lyrics and propulsive beats. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable on Ltd Clear Vinyl \u0026amp; CD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                           \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e01.
