On Friday, May 30th, Sub Pop Records will release With Trampled by Turtles, the second solo album from Alan Sparhawk of Low. The album, as its name implies was created with the support of long-time friends and fellow Minnesotans, Trampled by Turtles.
Recorded in late 2023 at Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, the project came together as Sparhawk joined Trampled by Turtles towards the end of their session. He brought with him a collection of songs — some that had never found a home with Low, and others freshly conceived, waiting for the right environment. After years of casually discussing a collaboration, the timing finally aligned. “When the opportunity seems right,” Sparhawk reflects, “you jump.”
Alongside the announcement, they’ve released an official video for the album’s lead single, “Stranger.” Featuring a rich chorus of voices, the video was edited by Jacob Kasar. You can watch it below.
Sparhawk will continue touring in support of his recent releases through the remainder of 2025. You can find a current list of dates below.
