Alan Sparhawk wrote "Plastic Cup" on his own, and it's on The Invisible Way, the tenth album from Low, released by Sub Pop in 2013. Wilco's Jeff Tweedy produced the record at Wilco's studio in Chicago.

Critics mostly warmed to the album, and Metacritic's average landed at 80 across 36 reviews. At The A.V. Club, Jason Heller admired the band's staying power and heard their old method, a slow build into a smoldering peak, stretched across a whole album, while AllMusic's Fred Thomas praised the production and the careful arrangements and heard a band still changing decades in. Slant's Jordan Mainzer was the holdout, arguing the album showed how little Low had moved.
