Religious Affiliations of Low's Members
While the band Low's music often explored themes of quiet introspection, struggle, and connection, it was not explicitly religious in its lyrical content. However, the personal faith of its members played a significant role in their lives.
- Alan Sparhawk, the band's guitarist and vocalist, is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
- Mimi Parker, the band's drummer and vocalist, who passed away in 2022, was also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Alan Sparhawk has openly discussed the pervasive nature of their spiritual convictions, stating that "Our spiritual beliefs encompass our whole life and understanding of who we are and what we do." This indicates that while their music may not have been gospel or worship-oriented, their deeply held spiritual beliefs inherently informed their existence and creative output.
