Low’s Mimi Parker has died. The news came via Twitter:
NPR adds, “Formed in 1993 by Parker and her husband Alan Sparhawk in Duluth, Minn., Low emerged as a crucial group in what would come to be defined as the decade's slowcore movement. Known for its beautifully simple, droning and dark instrumentals, the band was anchored by the delicate vocal harmonies of its central couple, which could cut through even the harshest noise. “I've been pushing towards the beauty and I know Alan sometimes focuses on the chaos," Parker said of the band's music in a 2021 interview with All Things Considered.”
We last saw Mimi Parker earlier at Rock the Garden in June 2022 and noted the new bassist: “Duluth’s Low (Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker) took the stage… with new bassist Liz Draper. Former bassist, Zak Sally was also spotted in the audience. Low has been around for a long time, well before I first saw them in May 2001… ”

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.
