“Pissing”, Low, another RIP

This way: Pissing

Great Great Great band. Mimi Parker died on November 5, 2022. Her death was announced by the band's official Twitter account on November 6 with the message "Friends, it's hard to put the universe into language and into a short message, but she passed away last night, surrounded by family and love, including yours. Keep her name close and sacred. Share this moment with someone who needs you. Love is indeed the most important thing. 

Low is an American indie rock band from Duluth, Minnesota, formed in 1993 by Alan Sparhawk (guitar and vocals) and Mimi Parker (drums and vocals). Parker was a member of the band from its formation until her death in 2022. The band was a trio from 1993 to 2020, having featured four different bassists throughout its history.

The music of Low is characterized by slow tempos and minimalist arrangements. Early descriptions sometimes referred to it as a rock subgenre called "slowcore" often compared to the band Bedhead, who played this style during the early 1990s. However, Low's members ultimately disapproved of the term.

Parker and Sparhawk's vocal harmonies represent perhaps the group's most distinctive element; critic Denise Sullivan writes that their shared vocals are "as chilling as anything Gram [Parsons] and Emmylou [Harris] ever conspired on—though that's not to say it's country-tinged, just straight from the heart." Low's style grew experimental overtime, gradually incorporating elements of electronica and glitch on later releases, whilst retaining their minimalist approach.usic for the Swedish drama film Once a Year.
