Through your first story window I see my favourite record store…

Low_at_Saturn,_Birmingham,_Alabama,_2022-03-25,_Mimi_Red

Rest in peace Mimi Parker. Hard to pick one track to celebrate her voice, percussion and songwriting. Instead, one track from each of Low’s albums so that we slow down time and immerse ourselves in beautiful and unsettling dreams.

The Guardian: Low’s Mimi Parker was a voice of hope and healing in indie rock

The Guardian: ‘She was so casual about her genius’: musicians on Low’s Mimi Parker
