In 1993 Parker and her husband Alan Sparhawk formed the indie rock band Low where band became a part of the slowcore movement.
On the Instagram post Keenan gave Parker and Low credit for being a big influence on his songwriting and encouraging fans to hear Low’s iconic music. Also Keenan mention how he regrets not sending a letter to the band when Paker passed away.

“The song I was listening to on loop yesterday was Congregation. My point I suppose is Do Not Wait. Life Is Too Short. Say the Words. Send the Letter. Make the Call. Also- Do yourself a favor and dig deep on the @lowtheband catalog. Things We Lost in the Fire is a good place to start. Alan, @puscifer will be dedicating Horizons and A Singularity to Mimi the next few days while we play our way through Canada. So sorry for your loss.” said Keenan
