Event information
All AgesHow the fuck are we going to turn this into a song? Thats the questionLou Barlow and John Davis have asked themselves since co-founding the FolkImplosion in the early 1990s. Beginning with improvised jams featuringBarlow on bass and Davis on drums, the duo develop their beat-driven popcollages from the ground up. Its the process they used on their debutcassette, Walk Through This World with the Folk Implosion, and one theyvereturned to 30 years later on their spellbinding, self-referencingreunion, Walk Thru Me.Separated from their homes in Massachusetts and North Carolina, Barlow andDavis collaborated remotely, flashing back to their early friendship aspenpals. A sweaty bass and drums session went down in Barlows attic,before they booked studio time with producer Scott Salter (St. Vincent,Spoon, The Mountain Goats).Contrasts and comparisons are the keys to unlocking Walk Thru Me, and theFolk Implosion as a whole. Beyond the audible differences between Barlowssoft voice and Daviss urgent, reedy proclamations, their approaches tosongwriting are strikingly distinct. While Barlow approached his lyricsfrom a protective paternal perspective (My Little Lamb), Davis paidtribute to his late father, shining a light on their complicatedrelationship (The Day You Died).Finally, Daviss Persian music studies in weekly Zoom lessons inspired himto integrate traditional Middle Eastern instruments such as the setar,oud, saz, and tombak.Because were so separate, part of this album is me desperately trying totelepathically communicate to John and Scott, who are 700 miles away fromme, Barlow concludes. A big part of what I consider to be the FolkImplosion is taking disparate things and turning them into pop.HUNGRY? CHECK OUT THE EMORY ACROSS TROY ST - 22700 WOODWARD AVE.
