Lou Barlow is that bespectacled emo lord beloved of sensitive indie kids & old plaid cocooned grungers - his first proper solo recordings arrive this week on Domino in the shape of a 7" single called 'The Right'. Typically for a man of his maturing years & possibly expanding girth, he's adapted his songwriting craft to graze in quieter, more reflective pastures - ie removing any trace of an edge from his songs and making this single sound like a Snow Patrol tune. It has some pleasant touches and a nice foot tapping pace but isn't particularly memorable, just a mellow, head noddy blur that sounds like a really commercial Folk Implosion.

Lou Barlow, legendary member of Dinosaur Jr
and founder of Sebadoh and The Folk
Implosion, releases his first new music in over
three years.

Currently on a world tour with Dinosaur Jr,
where he is also the opening support, profile for
Lou is excellent.

The new music recalls vintage Lou - upbeat, yet
always yearning and endearing, memorable
songs to break your heart.

Limited to 500 copies.
