Their style is often described as a combination of experimental, dream pop, indie rock, indie pop, slowcore and lo-fi. [1] [2] [5] The band was originally composed of two former members of the band Valentine Six, Parker Noon (aka Mangham Parker) [6] (vocalist) and Lily Wolfe (pianist). [1] Organist Daniel Rickard and drummer Jeremy Wheatley were later added to the Parker and Lily live lineup. [1] [7] In 2004, during the recording of their third and most recent album ( The Low Lows , released in 2005), Noon and Wolfe's decade-long romantic relationship ended. [1] [8] [9] However, despite their breakup, Noon and Wolfe finished the album together. [1] [8]

After finishing the recording of The Low Lows , Noon and Wolfe took a five-month hiatus and then regrouped to perform and work on new material. [10] However, this new material has yet to be released. In 2005, Noon collaborated with the other Parker and Lily members, Wheatley and Rickard, to form a new band named The Low Lows (using the name of Parker and Lily's third album The Low Lows ). [3] [11] [12] [13] The Low Lows have since released two full-length albums, one in 2006 and the other in 2008. [14] [15]

Despite Noon and Wolfe's break-up, according to The Low Lows’ myspace page, Wolfe toured with The Low Lows for their first three tours and contributed to the making of The Low Lows’ first two albums. [16] Wolfe has stated on her Myspace page (and The Low Lows' Monotreme Records Artists' page coroberates) that she wants to focus only on making music for movies. [4] [11]
