Low was formed in 1993 by vocalist and guitarist Alan Sparhawk and bassist John Nichols with Sparhawk's wife Mimi Parker as a co-vocalist and drummer. The band embraced a softer, dream-pop that contrasted the post-punk, grunge movement popular in the '90s. Instead of loud, heayv drums, Parker used brushes instead of drumsticks on a drum set consisting of a single snare drum, cymbal, and floor tom. This and her shared vocal harmonies with Sparhawk helped Low craft a unique sound that produced an immediate cult following. Between 1993 and 2022, Parker and Sparhawk led Low as they cycled through five different bassists. In 2020, Mimi Parker was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She passed away on November 5, 2022, forcing the band to cancel the remainder of 2022's shows.
