The Low – American Indie Rock Band
Mimi Parker and her husband Alan Sparhawk founded the American indie rock band ‘Low’ in 1993. This band is responsible for Mimi Parker’s worldwide popularity. From the beginning, the band was always composed of three members. While there had been several bassists over the band’s history, Mimi and Alan were the band’s regular members. The band explored an aspect of indie rock music that was not being explored by other bands at the time.
Low’s music was distinguished by slow tempos and simple arrangements. Mimi, the band’s drummer, used to utilize a little drum set. The drum set, unlike the typical one, consisted of a single snare drum, a single symbol, and a single floor tom. Mimi was also known for using brushes rather than drumsticks.
In 1994, the band published its debut album. Virgin Records released the album, titled ‘I Could Live in Hope.’ ‘Long Division,’ the band’s next album, was released. Kramer, the creator of the New York City record label Shimmy Disc, produced and recorded both of these albums. Another album, named ‘The Curtain Hits the Cast,’ published by the band in 1996, became one of the band’s most popular releases. The album’s song ‘Over the Ocean’ was a college radio smash.
Low was famed for their live performances, despite the fact that the band did not achieve much in terms of revenue generation or other conventional characteristics of success. The enthusiasm and humor delivered by the band were not found in their recordings, but only during their performance. The band produced a hymnal rendition of the song “The Little Drummer Boy.” The song was featured in a Gap ad and is likely the band’s most well-known tune.
Following Mimi’s cancer diagnosis, the band made the most of its opportunities to tour and perform for people. The band has published 14 studio albums in total, with their most recent album, ‘Hey What,’ being released in 2021. The band is also featured on the outside mural of First Avenue, a historic music venue in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota.
