The Folk Implosion - Dare To Be Surprised

More Lou Barlow for you. This time taken from his side project during his time in Sebadoh, The Folk Implosion. In this band he found another vehicle to showcase his simple yet beautiful song writing talent. Not as guitar based as Jr or Sebadoh, it was a chance for his lyrics to really shine. Almost a whole record of "Poledo". Whilst the lyrics are the main focus, his guitar work added it's usual strong dark tone to the majority of the lyrics. The record also managed to completely shame his former band mate J Mascis who's J Mascis and The Fog project was found to be completely inferior.
