Alan Sparhawk releases striking, timely new songs: “JCMF” and “No More Darkness” & announces 2026 Tour Dates.
Today, Alan Sparhawk is releasing two enthralling new songs, “JCMF” and “No More Darkness.” Both tracks were written, composed, and produced at 20 Below Studio in Duluth, MN, with Nat Harvie mixing. They feature Sparhawk on Guitar/Vocals, Eric Pollard on Drums and Sparhawk’s son, Cyrus Sparhawk, on Bass.
Sparhawk shares about both singles:
“JCMF”: This is a song I’ve had for a few years, but couldn’t find the right way to play or record it. We started playing it last year in the Alan Sparhawk Solo Band, on tour, and with each month, the sentiment of the song only increased.
I feel like the song has become a rebuke against the fascist/authoritarian streak thatseveral world leaders have taken on and to the people who havebeen blinded into supporting them.
“No More Darkness”:Inspired by a David Lynch quote (“Don’t fight the darkness. Don’t even worry about the darkness. Turn on the light and the darkness goes. Turn up the light of pure consciousness. Negativity goes.”) This song reminds me to choose light in especially dark times.
We were ending our set with this tune all year, and it is my wish for everyone, especially those who feel alone."
Sparhawk will be donating a portion of his royalties from these songs to the International Institute of Minnesota.
JCMF
When Jesus come back All you motherfuckers are going to pay When Jesus come back All you motherfuckers are going to pay When Jesus come back There’s gonna be no more sorrow and pain When Jesus come back There’s gonna be no more sorrow and pain
When Jesus come back There ain’t gonna be no rich or poor When Jesus come back There’s gonna be no more guns and war When Jesus come back He’s gonna gather all the children around When Jesus come back He’s gonna gather all the children around When Jesus come back He’s gonna open up all the graves When Jesus come back All you motherfuckers are going to pay
NO MORE DARKNESS
No more darkness No more darkness No more darkness My love No more darkness No more darkness No more darkness Anymore Cause good is good And wrong is wrong So turn up the light And sing along No more darkness No more darkness No more darkness My love
