When his wife and Low counterpart Mimi Parker passed away, we wondered if we might never hear from Alan Sparhawk again. However, last year's White Roses, My God was one of the most unpredictable and incredible records we heard, and we're still unpacking it. With Trampled By Turtles is a surprise follow-up that finds Sparhawk teaming up with friends, family, and even presenting songs he'd been working on with Parker before she died. Set to be one of the most affecting records of the year. - Flying Out
Cassette includes - Includes 'With Trampled by Turtles' on side A, and the entire 'White Roses, My God' album on side B.
The two artists hold the kind of ironclad bond. Following Parker’s passing in 2022, Trampled by Turtles invited Sparhawk to join them on tour to give him a space to be surrounded by friends. Occasionally, he would join them onstage. The outpouring of love was palpable every time they played together, a surge of warmth.
When playing together is that powerful, why stop there? In winter, 2024, Sparhawk and Trampled by Turtles created With Trampled by Turtles, a record exactly as its name implies: Collective. Communal. Fraternal. Empathetic. A vessel for comfort, a reminder of the harmony that can exist when surrounded by those closest to you.
Where White Roses, My God, Sparhawk’s last album, plunged headfirst into electronica and radical vocal modulation, With Trampled by Turtles leans into the folk and bluegrass stylings of its backing band, Sparhawk’s voice now completely unvarnished.
With Trampled by Turtles is far more than just Alan Sparhawk and Trampled by Turtles. It’s an affirmation of all the people who have been vital in Sparhawk’s life and music, and an opportunity to hold each of their gifts into the light. It’s producer Nat Harvie, who has been collaborating and performing with him for years. It’s Sparhawk’s daughter Hollis, who duets with her father on Not Broken. And it’s Mimi Parker, too: Too High, Princess Road Surgery, and Not Broken were all tracks she and Sparhawk had been working on in the last few years. These songs finally found a setting that stirringly commemorates them, bolstered by a full ensemble to make every note sing. Their presence is a kind of eternal connection to Parker, a way her musical grace will keep flourishing.
