专辑简介

White Roses, My God is unlike anything Alan Sparhawk has put out before. At this point in the indie rock veteran’s career, though, that’s something to be expected: following its formation in Duluth, Minnesota in 1993, his band Low may have emerged as progenitors of the slowcore movement, but it went on to gain as strong of a reputation for maturing and constantly mutating – and, with 2018’s Double Negative and 2021’s HEY WHAT, totally reinventing – its sound. Sparhawk’s new album – and first since the death, in 2022, of his wife and bandmate Mimi Parker – doesn’t revert back to the minimalist, elegiac style the group helped pioneer, at least not in any traditional sense. But it is, in the experimental fashion embraced by their last couple of albums, minimalist and elegiac, at once teasing, fracturing, and stumbling upon emotions through the means of vocal manipulation and technological rigidity. Rather than quietly continuing Low’s latest evolution, however, it sounds more like him rediscovering and shrouding it in all his own voice.
