Mimi Parker, drummer and vocalist of Low, dies aged 55. "Alongside husband Alan Sparhawk, Parker formed Low in the early 90s, and their minimal alternative to the era’s grunge-heavy music saw them acclaimed as one of indie-rock’s most original bands." Guardian.

Things We Lost In The Fire is their most brilliant album.

Edit: oh, I see rookie54 beat me to it.
