Alan Sparhawk: THE WHITE ROSES TOUR + Circuit Des Yeux play Chalk Venue Brighton on Wednesday 5th March 2025.
Thirty years into a career of music making, 2024 finds Alan Sparhawk entering uncharted territory. Sparhawk co-founded the band Low alongside vocalist and drummer Mimi Parker. Low’s music fearlessly explored the elementals and their thirteen albums inspired a still-evolving movement of artists mining the spacious, the graceful, and the intimate.
Over time, Low’s anthemic songs heightened in urgency and tone, as well as intensified lyrical questioning. Their final album, Grammy nominated Hey What was released in 2021 to universal acclaim. Parker passed away in late 2022.
There is no question that Sparhawk’s first solo album — White Roses, My God — is a record borne of grief. However, it would be reductive, even foolish, to see grief as its sole source or organising principle. It's taut, provocative experimentation is powered by profound lyrics and propulsive beats. White Roses, My God is an exorcism whose purpose is not to banish the spirit but to set it free.
Having recently put in guest appearances with Matchess, Yo La Tengo, Trampled by Turtles, Peder Mannerfelt, Charlie Parr, and funk band Derecho Rhythm Section, Sparhawk’s tour schedule in support of White Roses, My God begins in November and extends through next spring, including an appearance at Pitchfork Music Festival London and support dates with Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

Circuit Des Yeux
A Chicago based musician, composer, and multidisciplinary artist, Circuit Des Yeux work defies easy categorisation. She has encompassed critically acclaimed albums, free-form improvisation, painting, audio visual installations, and large ensemble compositions. At the center of her music is her voice – a powerful, seemingly supernatural instrument — a four-octave span that can create gentle melodic hooks, animalistic bleats, and beautiful, elemental wails.
The center of her new work, Halo, remains Fohr’s (Circuit Des Yeux) voice. It is a powerful, seemingly supernatural instrument — a four-octave span that can span gentle melodic hooks, animalistic bleats and elemental wails. Here, Fohr makes use of its full range in maximalist compositions that swerve fearlessly between genres and styles.
“Through the process of making this music I was able to rewind myself to a time before fear,” she says. “And in the absence of fear I found the intimate beat of sex, love, and melody”.
