The band was a trio from their formation to 2020, having featured four different bassists. Their early music was pioneering in the slowcore genre, usually featuring quiet harmony vocals, a melancholy mood, and very slow tempos compared to other styles of rock and roll. However, Low's sound gradually developed over time to touch on other influences.
Low disbanded in 2022 following Parker's death.
