"Friends, it's hard to put the universe into language and into a short message," the band's official Twitter accounton Sunday morning."She passed away last night, surrounded by family and love, including yours.

Known for its beautifully simple, droning and dark instrumentals, the band was anchored by the delicate vocal harmonies of its central couple, which could cut through even the harshest noise.
