Low was formed in Duluth, Minnesota, by Mimi and her husband Alan Sparhawk in early 1993. They both remained a permanent fixture – with their distinctive harmonies one of the main elements – while other band members changed throughout the years.

The band’s musical style was often referred to in the early days as ‘slowcore’, due to their slow tempos and minimalist arrangements. This was a term that was disliked by the band’s members though.
