“‘Get Still’ is built from synthetic pieces — deep sub-bass, electronic drums, Alan Sparhawk’s voice so heavily Auto-Tuned that it no longer sounds recognizably human. In its gooey melody, you can still hear some ghost of Low’s beauty. Here, Sparhawk pushes the electronic explorations of Low’s late-period records way beyond reason, finding something weird and powerful in the process.“Get Still” is built from synthetic pieces — deep sub-bass, electronic drums, Alan Sparhawk’s voice so heavily Auto-Tuned that it no longer sounds recognizably human.

“…the distorted vocals were put through T C Helicon C-1 hard pitch pedal, and the disorienting results are surreal, but also intensely emotive. You’re left with the sense of someone grappling with absence, the space in his life leaving a colossal void; somehow, amidst all this, Alan Sparhawk is still moving forwards, and the will to continue make ‘Get Still’ a gripping experience.” - CLASH
 
“…this is a record that ultimately finds Sparhawk turning pain into a kind of spiritual beauty” - Uncut ‘Album of the Month’
 
“…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
