Folk Implosion
Walk Thru Me
"How the fuck are we going to turn this into a song?" That's the question Lou Barlow and John Davis have asked themselves since co-founding The Folk Implosion in the early 1990s. Beginning with improvised jams featuring Lou Barlow on bass and John Davis on drums, the duo develop their beat-driven pop collages from the ground up. It's the process they used on their debut cassette, 'Walk Through This World' with the Folk Implosion, and one they've returned to 30 years later on their spellbinding, self-referencing reunion, 'Walk Thru Me.' Separated from their homes in Massachusetts and North Carolina, Barlow and Davis collaborated remotely, flashing back to their early friendship as penpals. A sweaty bass and drums session went down in Barlow's attic, before they booked studio time.
