What People Are Saying About
Alan Sparhawk’s White Roses, My God:
“‘Can U Hear,’ the album’s first single, is certainly an unconventional expression of grief, with its droning electronics, sputtering beat and eerie Auto-Tuned vocals. But that digitized wail is unmistakably mournful, and there is something admirably bold in the way Sparhawk, as ever, rejects the expected.” [“Can U Hear”] New York Times
“…this is a record that ultimately finds Sparhawk turning pain into a kind of spiritual beauty” - [Album of the Month] Uncut
“…viscerally inventive within its closed sound world: snaking, slurred, and often anarchically fun.” - Pitchfork
“Like almost everything Sparhawk creates, it is beautiful, but also very heavy, as you might expect, with grief at its core.” - Brooklyn Vegan
“White Roses, My God is a glance at Sparhawk’s musical sketchbook that’s somehow both unrehearsed and constructed with care, enjoyable and unknowable, as transient as it is profound. It may be somewhat unexpected in form, but its compelling content should come as no surprise” - Under the Radar
“…minimalist and elegiac, at once teasing, fracturing, and stumbling upon emotions through the means of vocal manipulation and technological rigidity ” - Our Culture
“Made by Sparhawk entirely on his own, White Roses is the sound of someone searching for his voice, a new way to articulate the love they shared and all that is missed.” - The Quietus
