Lou Barlow Biography
by Jason Ankeny
Lou Barlow has been among the most powerfully
distinctive, influential, and prolific figures in independent music
since the 1980s. He was a member of three important bands,
Dinosaur Jr.,
Sebadoh, and
the Folk Implosion,
as well as making time for a solo career, and the common thread between
his contributions to all these projects come from his gift for penning
simple but memorable melodies, and his willingness to bare his soul and
expose his insecurities. As a bassist, he took a supporting role in
Dinosaur Jr., as the leader of
Sebadoh he was a pivotal figure in the lo-fi revolution, and with
the Folk Implosion
he managed to land a single in the pop Top 40, 1995's "Natural One."
Though his proper solo career didn't begin until the 2000s, 2005's
Emoh and 2015's
Brace the Wave show he's still in firm command of his style and his gifts
