More than twenty years after disbanding in 2000, The Folk Implosion duo of Lou Barlow and John Davis has returned with a new batch of remarkable tracks making the cool, catchy vibe of their classic sound available again. Dare to be surprised. Something else from the press release: Lou Barlow and John Davis began their collaboration improvising acoustic songs onto a Walkman cassette tape recorder in 1993. The project quickly evolved from minimal, 4-track new wave flavored home recordings into a genre-spanning studio project, culminating in 1999 with their lush, sample-driven third LP, One Part Lullaby. The duo scored a top 40 hit along the way with "Natural One", from the soundtrack to the controversial 1995 film Kids. They disbanded in 2000. In a surprising pandemic twist, John and Lou reunited, remotely, in 2020. They began a collaboration that mirrored the beginnings of their friendship as penpals trading tapes in the early 1990s. Drum parts, bass lines, and guitar riffs were ping-ponged across the internet. Approximately a year later, they worked in person in Durham NC to bring two songs to completion. The single, self-released through John’s Inundation Records, cements and celebrates the band’s return to active status. The Folk Implosion will spend the rest of 2022 working on a full-length LP.
