Walk Thru Me - Vinyle Blanc

Description

Lou Barlow and John Davis co-founded The Folk Implosion in the early 1990s. Starting with improvised jams featuring Barlow on bass and Davis on drums, the duo developed their rhythmic pop collages from this foundation. This is the process they used for their first cassette, Walk Through This World with the Folk Implosion, and which they reused 30 years later for Walk Thru Me, their first album in twenty years. A captivating reunion full of self-references for which they enlisted producer Scott Salter (St. Vincent, Spoon, The Mountain Goats). Contrasts and comparisons are the keys to Walk Thru Me, and to Folk Implosion as a whole. Beyond the audible differences between Barlow's soft voice and Davis's urgent proclamations, their writing approaches are remarkably distinct. While Barlow approaches his lyrics from a protective paternal perspective, Davis pays tribute to his late father, highlighting their complicated relationship. Finally, Davis's studies of Persian music have inspired him to incorporate traditional Middle Eastern instruments such as the setar, oud, saz, and tombak. For fans of Lou Barlow, Sebadoh, Superchunk, Sonic Youth, Guided By Voices, Dinosaur Jr., Pavement, Fugazi, Yo La Tengo, Thurston Moore, Low.
