Low’s Mimi Parker dead at 55

Mimi Parker, who sang and drummed in the band Low, died this weekend after a two-year battle with ovarian cancer. She was 55.

Parker and her husband, Alan Sparhawk, formed the Duluth, Minnesota, band in 1993.

Over much of Low’s existence, the band was known for its “slowcore” indie music style.

Four years ago, Low reinvented itself with a much more intense, distorted and sometimes abrasive sound even as it preserved the harmonies.

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.
