Sad loss.

 

[Razzoo]

No way, that is so sad. Shit

Very sad. Great band. Glad I got to saw them a final time in May in Kemptown

 

[Machiavelli]

Much like their music and, especially Mimi's singing, this has affected me deeply. Thanks for everything Mimi.

Such sad news, I really like Low, and love Mimi's voice. I think their recent more experimental, noisy albums are great, but I have to come back to Secret Name, which soundtracked quite an emotional time for me, and particularly 2-Step. I have always found this song moving, but today Mimi's gorgeous warble is devastating. Younger than I am as well. F**k cancer (again).

Couldn't have put it better myself. After Things We Lost in the Fire, I was less enamoured by their output, until their last two albums, which are both stunning. But if I had to name one album and one song, it's Secret Name and Two Step

Very sad news. One of my all time favourite gigs was Low at St.George's church, Kemptown. That night was probably the last time it snowed heavily in Brighton.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Oh shit.

 

[pb21]

Oh, that's very sad news. Saw them a few times, albeit not recently. A real talent.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Too soon ... But

 

[Hugo Rune]

This is a fantastic track.



Very sad news.

Feeling very sad this evening. We played Just Like Christmas at our wedding and it became our special anniversary song. Last saw them at St George’s and they were great, as always. Think The Curtain Hits The Cast is my favourite - so much space and emotion between the notes, then it goes absolutely crazy in Do You Know How To Waltz? Mimi had such a lovely purity to her voice. The songs were often simple and engaging, but with an edge of mystery and repressed emotion. Will miss them so much as they’ve been part of my life and my family’s life for so long. California in particular reminds me of the last time we lived in Brighton when our children were small. RIP Mimi, you gave us so much….

One final devastating track with Mimi taking the lead vocal:

Thanks for posting that. Was that track on one of their albums?

Yes it was on Trust

Saw them recently at primavera and they were awesome, didn’t think it would be the last time, but I’m happy that I got to enjoy that beautiful wall of sound RIP.

So Sad, such a loss. RIP
