With Trampled By Turtles is Sparhawk’s second solo album, following on from last year’s White Roses, My God. Low the band he formed with his wife Mimi Parker ended when Parker died in 2022. The female singer featured on ‘Not Broken‘ is Sparhawk and Parker’s daughter, Hollis.

The album was recorded at the end of 2023 at Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. Alan Sparhawk came in towards the end of Trampled by Turtles’ session there, with several songs in development. Some had never worked in Low; others were fresh and waiting for the right setting. For years, the two acts had talked about making something together, but the talk was never more than hypothetical. When Sparhawk needed it most, the promise re-emerged, sharper than ever. ‘When the opportunity seems right,’ Sparhawk says, ‘you jump.’
