“Now this is the record I needed to do,” says Lou Barlow about The New Folk Implosion.
Barlow’s prodigious creative energy has manifested itself in 20 albums. From an early gig playing bass in Dinosaur Jr., to leading indie rock standard bearer Sebadoh and releasing cassettes of his lo-fi home taping solo project Sentridoh, through to scoring a Top 40 hit with “Natural One” from the Kids soundtrack with Folk Implosion, his quality to quantity ratio has been inordinately high. This is especially impressive given the variety contained in his discography -- each of those bands and projects had its own distinct identity, as defined by Barlow and his collaborators.
A change in collaborators is in large part of what makes The New Folk Implosion, well, new. All past Folk Implosion releases were a product of the collaboration between Barlow and John Davis. With Davis retired (“he never really fully embraced being a musician as a lifestyle”) he decided to call the album The New Folk Implosion.
“It is good to actually separate it from the John Davis era, which had its own special flavor and feel,” Barlow says.
Also new is Barlow’s approach to his songs falling under the Folk Implosion moniker.
“Before, I’d sort of split things up,” he explains. “I’d keep my folk or rock-based stuff, I’d do that with Sebadoh. The studio experimentation or experimenting with beats and writing in the studio or fully collaborating with somebody else, I saved that for Folk Implosion. But now I’m doing songs that would’ve become Sebadoh songs or Folk Implosion songs and putting them under one name.”
