After the untimely loss of wife and bandmate Mimi Parker in 2022, Low’s Alan Sparhawk has struck out on his own with his first solo album, White Roses, My God. It’s unfamiliar terrain both emotionally and musically: electronic experimentation — via synthesisers, drum machines, and a hefty dose of vocoder — make for music that is profound, sharp, and unsettling. Proof that in the darkest shadows of grief come the boldest and most determinedly alive of lights.
