Low is an American band from Duluth, Minnesota, formed in the early 1990s by Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker. They are widely associated with slowcore and are noted for sparse arrangements, close vocal harmonies and later electronic/experimental production.

Mimi Parker (drums, vocals) died in 2022.

DeBaser's reviews present Low as a consistently admired band from Duluth, noted for slowcore roots and later experimental electronic turns. Reviewers praise albums from I Could Live in Hope to Double Negative and Hey What, and highlight Mimi Parker and Alan Sparhawk's vocal interplay. Live reports underline the band's intense, ritual quality.

For:Fans of slowcore, indie and experimental rock; readers who enjoy thoughtful album and concert criticism.

 It is incredibly painful to talk about this album with the awareness that we are facing the last work in the thirty-year career of this formidable group; it is incredibly painful to do so at such a short distance from the death of Mimi Parker, the heart and soul of the group along with her partner Alan Sparhawk.
