The band’s management confirmed Parker’s death toLow shared the news of Parker’s death on its official Twitter account early Sunday morning writing: “Friends, it’s hard to put the universe into language and into a short message, but she passed away last night, surrounded by family and love, including yours. Keep her name close and sacred. Share this moment with someone who needs you. Love is indeed the most important thing.
Following her ovarian cancer diagnosis in Dec. 2020, Parker began treatment in 2021 and revealed her health troubles to the public in a 2022 interview. Earlier this October, Low canceled the remainder of their 2022 tour dates as Parker continued treatment. Low’s music and the band’s legacy are often tied to the birth of “slowcore,” a rock sub-genre characterized by minimalist rhythmic patterns and sluggish tempos. The band would grow more experimental over time, adding glitchy elements of electronica on new releases, but remained grounded in their fundamentalist approach. The combination of Parker and Sparhawk’s vocals, with their chilling harmonies and grunge-oriented instrumentals, remained at the core of the band.
