There's an offshoot of the British electronic group the Future Sound of London called Amorphous Androgynous, and that phrase accurately describes another English band, Seefeel. Led by guitarist/composer Mark Clifford and guitarist/vocalist Sarah Peacock, Seefeel have been sublimely blurring the lines between rock and electronic music for over 30 years—with some long hiatuses between releases. Their 1993 album Quique is a rarefied fusion of shoegaze rock, ambient, and dub that stands with My Bloody Valentine's much-more-ballyhooed Loveless as an exemplar of innovative bliss-mongering.

In the 1980s, my film professor assigned us Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song , auteur Melvin Van Peebles's low-budget, avant-garde, proto-Blaxploitation film. My main memory is of Van Peebles running away from the “pigs” to the extraordinary, kinetic funk of pre-hit-making Earth, Wind & Fire while wearing gold velvet trousers. It's a motif that sticks with you. The plot—wherein Sweetback (MVP), a brothel sex show performer who gets trapped in a convoluted scheme involving a Black Panther, tries to escape US authorities by crossing into Mexico—is less important than the fantastic soundtrack, the sex and fight scenes, and the sensation of Black men beating the system while looking fly.

“Get Still” is the first Alan Sparhawk music since his wife and Low bandmate Mimi Parker succumbed to cancer in November 2022, and it comes freighted with anticipation, apprehension, and appreciation. Their partnership in love and creativity was so integral that it seemed as if Sparhawk might decide to call it a career and pivot to... anything else besides music. But, no. The Duluth, Minnesota vocalist/guitarist has returned sooner than expected with White Roses, My God (out September 27), the first album under his own name since 2006's little-heard Solo Guitar.
