Watch The Folk Implosion’s Original Lineup Reunite For First Show In 26 Years
Lou Barlow, the indie legend who plays bass for Dinosaur Jr. and who leads Sebadoh, started the Folk Implosion with his penpal John Davis in 1993. They released a handful of great records and scored an out-of-nowhere hit with 1995’s “Natural One,” their contribution to the Kids soundtrack, before Davis left the group in 2000. Barlow released one more album under the Folk Implosion name without Davis, but then he hung it up. In 2021, Barlow and Davis got back together to work on new music. They released their Feel It If You Feel It EP in 2022, and they followed it this year with their new album Walk Thru Me. Last night, they played their first show back together.
Seeing Is Creating in Mark Milroy’s Art
HUDSON, New York — I first heard about Mark Milroy from the poet Douglas Crase in 2015, when he sent me his essay about sitting for a portrait by the artist in 2013. In the essay, published in Tether magazine, Crase wrote: “Milroy […] can be said to outflank expressionism by containing its intense choreography in the diagnostic grace of the neglected English painter Cedric Morris.” The image piqued my interest, and Crase’s reference to Morris deepened it. Morris was Lucien Freud’s teacher, and his influence can be seen in the latter’s early paintings (which I prefer to the later, more celebrated ones). Morris’s work projects an oddness that manifests as a deeply felt sense of reticence. I suspected that Milroy shared some of this spirit, but all I had seen so far was one reproduced painting and could find little else on him.
