A side project that took on an unlikely life of its own, the Folk Implosion is a collaboration between Sebadoh's Lou Barlow and Boston-area songwriter John Davis. While their earliest material was part of the '90s lo-fi movement, their contributions to the soundtrack album for the 1995 film Kids included the uncharacteristically slinky and serious "Natural One," which became a surprise Top 40 hit. The band's style shifted to electronic-tinged grooves similar to their biggest hit on the 1997 album Dare to Be Surprised, and they added scrappier indie rock back into the mix for their Interscope-released 1999 effort One Part Lullaby. The original lineup splintered and the project went on hiatus until 2021, at which point Barlow and Davis reunited, re-releasing expanded editions of their earlier material and issuing new music like 2024's Walk Thru Me, their first studio full-length in over 20 years.
