Low

Since 1993, the core of Low has been husband and wife Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker. Famous for spearheading the regrettably titled 'slowcore' movement, Low craft delicate and graceful melodies, at once achingly sad and gloriously uplifting (2001's Things We Lost In The Fire being widely regarded as a particular peak).

Today, with bassist Matt Livingston, they continue to create beautiful music with a gradually more abrasive and continually experimental bent, as heard on the markedly mean The Great Destroyer, an album that also marked a move to Sub Pop.
