About this product

How the F**k are we going to turn this into a song?Inch That's the question Lou Barlow and John Davis have asked themselves since co-founding the Folk Implosion in the early 1990s. Beginning with improvised jams featuring Barlow on bass and Davis on drums, the duo develop their beat-driven pop collages from the ground up. It's the process they used on their debut cassette, Walk Through This World with the Folk Implosion, and one they've returned to 30 years later on their spellbinding, self-referencing reunion, Walk Thru Me.Separated from their homes in Massachusetts and North Carolina, Barlow and Davis collaborated remotely, flashing back to their early friendship as penpals. A sweaty bass and drums session went down in Barlow's attic, before they booked studio time with producer Scott Salter (St. Vincent, Spoon, The Mountain Goats).Contrasts and comparisons are the keys to unlocking Walk Thru Me, and the Folk Implosion as a whole. Beyond the audible differences between Barlow's soft voice and Davis's urgent, reedy proclamations, their approaches to songwriting are strikingly distinct. While Barlow approached his lyrics from a protective paternal perspective (InchMy Little LambInch), Davis paid tribute to his late father, shining a light on their complicated relationship (InchThe Day You DiedInch).Finally, Davis's Persian music studies in weekly Zoom lessons inspired him to integrate traditional Middle Eastern instruments such as the setar, oud, saz, and tombak.InchBecause we're so separate, part of this album is me desperately trying to telepathically communicate to John and Scott, who are 700 miles away from me,Inch Barlow concludes. InchA big part of what I consider to be the Folk Implosion is taking disparate things and turning them into pop.

Musici Ireland EarthriseMusici Ireland, led by violist Beth McNinch, has established itself as a pioneering force in Irish chamber music since it's formation in 2012. Known for commissioning and premiering contemporary works, the ensemble is distinguished by it's commitment to Irish and female composers, pushing the boundaries of modern chamber music with an interdisciplinary and socially engaged approach.InchEarthrise,Inch recorded at Grouse Lodge Studios, captures the ensemble at the height of it's artistic prowess. Produced by Jonathan Allen (Abbey Road Studios) and engineered by Alex Borwick, this album presents a collection of striking new works by leading Irish composers. Each piece offers a distinct perspective, contributing to the evolving landscape of Irish music.Deirdre Gribbin's Before the Moon Shattered and Shone Again explores cyclical time, inspired by Celtic mythology and the constant presence of the moon. The string quartet echoes nature's cycles, symbolizing life's waxing, waning, and renewal, a fitting response to the stillness and disruption brought on by the pandemic.Deirdre McKay's Mr Shah draws inspiration from the quietude of space, contemplating the stark contrast between the near silence of the cosmos and the richness of sound on Earth. It reflects on the solitude of an astrophotographer's nightly exploration of the universe, staring into the vast, soundless expanse.Ian Wilson's Her Charms Invited (String Quartet No. 12) reimagines the intricate ornamentation of traditional Irish sean-nos singing within a contemporary musical framework.
