\u201cI can please myself with the things that I seek out<\/em>,\u201d declared Alan Sparhawk on \u201cStation\u201d, from last year\u2019s extraordinary White Roses, My God<\/a><\/strong>. It read like creative self-affirmation with a note of shock, as he moved forward in the wake of Mimi Parker<\/strong>\u2019s death and the resulting end of Low. In recent years those \u201cthings\u201d he\u2019s been seeking have included laid-back funk (as played with his son Cyrus, in Derecho Rhythm Section<\/strong>), mutant electro-funk (in the quartet Damien, also with Cyrus) and doom-sludge riffery (with Feast Of Lanterns<\/strong>). Now, a record from a very different collaborative beast, with a longer history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sparhawk\u2019s relationship with progressive, bluegrass\/country-folk types Trampled By Turtles<\/strong> stretches back to their early days when they were mentees and mates of Low in Duluth, Minnesota. Sparhawk produced the Turtles\u2019 Wild Animals<\/strong> in 2014 and they\u2019ve played together many times, most crucially in the summer of 2023. When he was fathoms deep in grief, the sextet invited him to ride along for some tour dates and occasionally he joined them onstage. A recording hook-up had been talked about before but mindsets and schedules finally aligned late that year, when the group were in Cannon Falls\u2019 Pachyderm Studio. Sparhawk joined them at the end of their session there and together they laid down nine tracks over just two afternoons, with no rehearsals and minimal overdubs.<\/p>\n
