Flashback Friday: Folk Implosion

Today’s Flashback Friday is a popular tune from 1995: Folk Implosion’s “Natural One” off of the KIDS soundtrack. Folk Implosion was a side project from Lou Barlow, who previously was a member of the early 90’s indie band Dinosaur Jr, and John Davis from Sebedoh.

The side project band took its name as an homage to another indie group from the same period, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. They performed under several different versions of “Folk Implosion”, sometimes being called “The Lou Barlow Folk Implosion” as well as “The Deluxx Folk Implosion” when fellow Sebedoh band mate Bob Fay joined them for performances.

After touring for a few years, Barlow and Davis finally disbanded the side project. All we have left is this fantastic track. Enjoy!
