I didn't realize there was another thread, apologies for the dupe. I visit here through the new subscribed threads option. I'm glad there's enough interest in Alan's solo album and his other projects though (even if it's probably just us), and wonder if both threads on the subject should be merged.

There is a video on LOW's Instagram of Alan explaining how to achieve the vocal effects on "White Roses, My God". It is through the use of a hard pitch controller pedal called TC-Helicon C-1, to be precise. There are videos of him playing some songs and explaining the guitar tunings, too. I watched one the other day in which he made oatmeal for breakfast, and I thought I should copy the recipe.

Judging by how the most recent live performances have been approached, the use of the effect won't dominate throughout but it will certainly feature in at least a few songs. A live recording for possible reference:

I attended the Bandcamp Listening Party and now the whole album is out. I love it, love the songs, the vocals. Even if not easy to discern due to this presence of abstraction, it sounds good and the soul is there.
