Thanks to Complicated Fun for pointing out this bit of good news:
A note from Low, May 2003
“Hello everyone.
It is time we addressed the recent situation that many of you are already aware of. It’s unfortunate that this has been played out in a public manner, but so it is. We have all had to work through some personal things recently (which took longer than we would have liked…). After sorting it out, the good news is that Zak is remaining in the band. We are sorry you had to ride along with us through this process– stuff like this just happens sometimes– but we feel better for it, and are excited for the future. As we had always planned, we are taking some time off, but we will be seeing you around. Thank you for your patience, and have a good summer.”
