White Roses, My God

White Roses, My God is the second solo album by former Low guitarist/vocalist Alan Sparhawk, released on September 27, 2024, by Sub Pop.

White Roses, My God is Sparhawk's first album since his wife and Low bandmate Mimi Parker died of ovarian cancer in 2022,[1][2] and the subsequent retirement of the band.

[5] A second solo album, a collaborative project with Duluth, Minnesota, folk band Trampled by Turtles, began during that time.

[5] Sparhawk first mentioned White Roses, My God in an interview with The New Yorker's Justin Taylor, published April 11, 2024.

[11] Like "Can U Hear", "Get Still" consists of electronic instrumentation, with Sparhawk's "voice so heavily Auto-Tuned that it no longer sounds recognizably human.

"[3] Those recordings included him experimenting with improvising guitar and pitch-shifted vocals over a preset synthesizer clocked to a drum machine.

[3] Stylistically, White Roses, My God follows Low's last two albums, 2018's Double Negative and 2021's Hey What, in applying layers of distortion over otherwise-straightforward songwriting.
