Low is an American indie rock band formed in 1993 by Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker. Known for their slow, minimalist sound and haunting harmonies, Low has been a pioneering force in the genre of slowcore. With over two decades of music-making under their belt, the band has released numerous critically acclaimed albums and garnered a dedicated fan base worldwide.

Throughout their career, Low's music has been characterized by its introspective lyrics and ethereal melodies. Their unique blend of folk, rock, and experimental elements creates a captivating sonic landscape that draws listeners in with its raw emotion and atmospheric beauty.

Over the years, Low has consistently pushed boundaries and challenged conventions within the indie rock scene. Their ability to create deeply affecting songs that resonate with audiences on a profound level sets them apart as true artists. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, Low's performances are marked by an undeniable authenticity that leaves a lasting impact on all who experience their music.

Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Label-Code is 03159; rarely found printed on releases (basically only on releases manufactured/licensed by Warner/WEA Germany)

Sub Pop release Low's Ones and Sixes, the group's latest studio effort. The album was co-produced by the band and engineer BJ Burton at Justin Vernon's April Base Studios in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The record nicely balances the band's trademark immediacy (Into You and Kid In The Corner) with more sprawling, experimental fare (the blistering, nearly 10-minute Landslide or DJ, a track that could be a spiritual cousin to Trust's Shots and Ladders). Throughout the record, electronic flourishes bubble under the surface while the cavernous-sounding guitars rip and echo around the corners. Low never let you down.
