In the wake of his guest appearance on my new single, Irene (out yesterday, and premiered by Stereogum) old friend Alan Sparhawk puts a bunch of questions to me he always meant to ask. The result was published by American culture and music web magazine, Flood, today in an exclusive feature.

Hear 2nd Single, Irene
Today you can hear 'Irene', the second track taken from my upcoming album 'Storm Damage'. It features Low's Alan Sparhawk on electric guitar and harmony vocal. I play metal resonator guitar over a synthetic tape loop. The song is a portrait of a singer and social change. It is about the power of nostalgia and the artist-audience relationship, which seems to obsess us all at the moment. It is also about the simple brutality of social change - how cities move on, scenes die and renew, and how people get caught up in that. I asked Alan to play on the song after we did a show together in Minneapolis in 2016. We have been friends for fifteen years since I remixed a Low song in 2004. I thought his restless, scratchily emotional guitar style would be perfect. Hope you like it. (Photo: Antonio Olmos)
