Alan Sparhawk knows this well. In his years in \u003cem\u003eLow\u003c\/em\u003e, he built decades of stirring music with his wife and lifelong creative partner Mimi Parker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn recent years, he has performed around Minnesota with his son Cyrus in \u003cem\u003eDercho Rhythm Section\u003c\/em\u003e, a funk band that also frequently features his daughter Hollis on vocals. There's an irreplaceable naturalism that comes with this kind of dynamic. Those who know you understand you. They love you. They want to help you bring your greatest passions to fruition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo it made sense that Sparhawk would turn to fellow Duluth musicians Trampled By Turtles to realize his latest record. As friends and mentees of \u003cem\u003eLow\u003c\/em\u003e, taken under Sparhawk and Parker's wing from their earliest days as a bar band, Trampled By Turtles have performed with Sparhawk countless times over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Duluth ties run deep: \"There's a certain vibe that has to do with underdog syndrome, coming from a small town,\" Sparhawk muses. \"Some of it is the weird grind and slackness that being at the mercy of Mother Nature puts in you. It humbles you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn winter, 2024, Sparhawk and Trampled By Turtles created \u003cem\u003eWith Trampled by Turtles\u003c\/em\u003e, a record exactly as its name implies: Collective. Communal. Fraternal. Empathetic. A vessel for comfort, a reminder of the harmony that can exist when surrounded by those closest to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith Trampled by Turtles\u003c\/em\u003e is far more than just Alan Sparhawk and Trampled By Turtles. It's an affirmation of all the people who have been vital in Sparhawk's life and music, and an opportunity to hold each of their gifts into the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's producer Nat Harvie, who has been collaborating and performing with him for years. It's Sparhawk's daughter Hollis, who duets with her father on \"\u003cem\u003eNot Broken\u003c\/em\u003e.\" And it's Mimi Parker, too: \"\u003cem\u003eToo High\u003c\/em\u003e,\" \"\u003cem\u003ePrincess Road Surgery\u003c\/em\u003e,\" and \"\u003cem\u003eNot Broken\u003c\/em\u003e\" were all tracks she and Sparhawk had been working on in the last few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese songs finally found a setting that stirringly commemorates them, bolstered by a full ensemble to make every note sing. Their presence is a kind of eternal connection to Parker, a way her musical grace will keep flourishing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"LP - Oxblood | Rough Trade Exclusive","offer_id":51435393286475,"sku":"R9339-7330","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Cream \/ UK Version","offer_id":51438535082315,"sku":"R9339-5377","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Sunflare \/ US Version","offer_id":51469280313675,"sku":"R9339-4762","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51438535115083,"sku":"R9339-8233","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tape","offer_id":51438535147851,"sku":"R9339-1291","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/unnamed_7ac8057d-ebed-4191-b5f7-3b3c598990c8.jpg?v=1752229421","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/with-trampled-by-turtles","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
