It means something for Alan Sparhawk to have a song called “Not Broken.” In 2022, Sparhawk lost his wife and Low bandmate Mimi Parker to cancer, and that’s the sort of thing that would break most of us. Sparhawk has taken on the heavy, beautiful task of honoring Parker’s legacy in public, through art. Last year, Sparhawk released his solo debut White Roses, My God, which processes mourning through electronic beats and heavy vocal filters. Later this month, Sparhawk will release a very different solo album — one that he recorded with the progressive bluegrass group Trampled By Turtles.
