Low play Neumos this Wed., March 20. SHELLY MOSMAN
My interview with Low guitarist/vocalist Alan Sparhawk is happening as former Donald Trump “fixer” Michael Cohen is testifying before Congress. So it seems apropos to ask which Low song he’d play to facilitate Trump’s resignation.
After some thought, he responds “Breaker,” off Drums and Guns, “because lyrically it’s this plea for an end to contention and war. It’s a look at ourselves: What are we doing? Can we stop this?”
“A lot of the new record [the Sub Pop–released Double Negative],” Sparhawk continues, “is more about looking at each other and trying to figure out how we begin to hope again.”
