Mimi Parker and Alan Sparhawk's music began as a contradiction; playing as softly as possible in the time of the loudness of grunge. However, never the kind to stick to a label, they have shifted their sound continuously over their decade-spanning career. In 2021, they released their thirteenth album ‘HEY WHAT’ - their third with producer BJ Burton. The Guardian called it ‘a magnificent redefinition of rock music, epitomizing the band’s forever desire to defy convention and to always look forward, creatively’.
