With 'Walk Thru Me,' the Folk Implosion sound like they never left. They just got more consistent at their jobs.
Even by the standards of the post-Nirvana alt-rock boom, the Folk Implosion’s career arc was incredibly weird. Even stranger,But then again, nobody ever expected Lou Barlow and John Davis, the duo with the indie rock in-joke nickname, to be anything more than the sum of their parts. Barlow was one of the bigger presences within the American underground, first with Dinosaur Jr.
Written over the Internet—with rhythm tracks cut in person and ultimately produced in a real studio with Scott Salter —the record maintains their signatures, with breaks and samples undergirding or woven through indie rock guitar figures and extremely regular-person vocals. Barlow has a bit more control over his vibe now, but he still sounds like the ultimate ‘90s indie guy, detached and overly intense at the same time; Davis like the eccentric bedroom genius who wandered in from the Shire.
Barlow’s parental “My Little Lamb” is sprightly guitar thrum, easy listening for parents sending their kids to college. “Bobblehead Doll” is one of Davis’ finest moments in forever: spacey New Wave pedals, a steady groove, and reedy vocals delivering epic indie pop of the old school.
