Alan Sparhawk was the key figure of slowcore pioneers Low for almost 30 years, together with his wife Mimi Parker. When Mimi died of cancer in 2022, the band ceased to exist. Without Mimi, there simply would be no Low. Recently, however, Alan Sparhawk has returned to the stage, both with Derecho Rhythm Section (a band with two of his children) and solo. With 'White Roses, My God' he even announced a new solo album.

Sparhawk created the new album entirely on his own: every note, every lyric, every programmed beat. Grief was not 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. In many ways, 'White Roses, My God' feels like a hard break with the past, almost like a debut.
