The Folk Implosion Release New Songs ‘My Little Lamb’ and ‘Bobblehead Doll’

Lou Barlow and John Davis have shared two new songs from Walk Thru Me, their first Folk Implosion album in 25 years. Listen to ‘My Little Lamb’ and ‘Bobblehead Doll’ below.

“That’s my first stab at articulating what it’s like being a dad,” Barlow said of ‘My Little Lamb’ in a statement. “I wanted it to include all of the light shit and all of the dark shit.”

‘Bobblehead Doll’ was originally written 15 years ago by Davis, who also directed the music video, “based on an intimate relationship where someone preferred to be propped up instead of listening to opposing perspectives.” Now, he describes it as “Noam Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent meets ‘Beautiful World’ by DEVO.”

Walk Thru Me comes out June 28 on Joyful Noise. It was led by the single ‘Moonlit Kind’.

Julie Byrne Joins Fashion Club on New Song ‘Rotten Mind’

Fashion Club – the moniker of Los Angeles artist Pascal Stevenson – has collaborated with Julie Byrne for ‘Rotten Mind’, her first new single in two years. Listen to it below.

“I’m trying my hardest to empathize with those people and just not getting there, which is something I deal with a lot: that attempt to let go of resentment and hatred for the world,” Stevenson said of the song in a statement. “I think it’s posing the question to those people, ‘Is that really what you want? Or do you just want to see other people suffer because you feel like you’re suffering?’”

Fashion Club’s debut album, Scrutiny, came out in 2022. “I felt less held back by ‘Oh I’m this kind of person, I have to make this kind of music,’ and I think transitioning and COVID shutting everything down for a while totally shattered that,” she added.

Ginger Root Announces New Album, Unveils New Single ‘No Problems’

Ginger Root – the California-based project of Cameron Lew – has announced a new album, SHINBANGUMI, which arrives on September 13. It marks his third LP and first for new label home Ghostly International. Lead single ‘No Problems’ is out today; check it out and see the album cover and tracklist below.

Since his first release in 2017, which he described as “aggressive elevator soul,” Lew has unlocked “exactly what Ginger Root should sound and feel like.” With SHINBANGUMI, he explained, “In terms of instrumentation and musicality, it’s the first time that I felt very confident and comfortable with what everything should be comprised of. On the more personal side, I’m coming out of the last four years of writing, touring, and living as a different person; SHINBANGUMI is a platform to showcase my new self.”

Of ‘No Problems’, he added: “All the sonic logos of Ginger Root are in this song. I was in the midst of writing a ton of new songs that all felt like I was forcing them to be something that they weren’t. I wrote ‘No Problems’ without expectations or templates to inform its sound, and the result was a track that came out as an unapologetically Ginger Root-esque song. In a lot of ways it is a great mirror of what SHINBANGUMI became – a project where I finally found confidence in what I was doing rather than finding myself imitating others.”

It’s the healthiest vice you can have, and I love the opportunity to write music that lets people escape more than anything.”

Compensation for Psychological Injuries in Car Accident Claims

In 2021, amidst a 7.6% increase in traffic fatalities in California, a significant yet often overlooked aspect of car accident impacts is the psychological injuries sustained by victims. These injuries, such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression, can be as debilitating as physical injuries and warrant serious consideration in accident claims. Understanding how to secure compensation for psychological injuries is essential, as these damages can affect all facets of a victim’s life, influencing their ability to work, interact with others, and enjoy daily activities.

If you or someone you know has experienced psychological distress following a car accident, it’s important to explore your legal options for compensation. Click here to find out more about how to include psychological injuries in your claim. Engaging a knowledgeable attorney can help ensure that all aspects of your injuries, both physical and emotional, are adequately addressed in your compensation.

In this article, we will explore the topic of seeking compensation for mental health issues in car accident claims.

Understanding Mental Health Issues

Mental health issues stemming from car accidents can take various forms, such as Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, depression, and phobias. These issues may surface following the accident or gradually develop over time. Regardless of when they arise, they can greatly affect an individual’s life and ability to function normally.

Recording Mental Health Issues

When pursuing compensation for mental health issues, having documentation and evidence to support your claim is essential. Seeking assistance is a crucial initial step after being in a car accident, even if there are no immediate physical injuries apparent. It’s important to communicate any psychological symptoms to professionals so that they can be documented in your medical records.

Moreover, it is crucial to attend therapy or counseling sessions with a mental health professional to document injuries effectively. Your therapist or psychologist will maintain records of your sessions and assist in establishing the impact the accident has had on your mental well-being.

Proving Cause

Proving causation is essential when seeking compensation for injuries resulting from a car accident. You must show that the accident directly caused or significantly contributed to your distress. Providing testimony from health professionals who have evaluated and treated you can strengthen your case.

Additionally, collecting eyewitness reports confirming your distress following the accident holds value as evidence supporting causation. Eyewitness testimonies detailing signs of trauma like increased agitation or crying spells can help establish a connection between the accident and your psychological injuries.

Determining Compensation

Determining compensation for psychological injuries is a process that considers various factors. Insurance adjusters or the court, if the matter proceeds to trial, will assess the seriousness of the injury and its long-term impact on your life. The duration and intensity of therapy or counseling needed to address your injuries may also influence the compensation amount granted.

In such situations, it may be essential to have expert testimony from psychologists or psychiatrists to predict the long-term treatment needs and overall recovery.

The Significance of Legal Representation

Dealing with the complexities of car accident claims involving mental injuries can feel daunting. Seeking assistance from a personal injury lawyer can significantly improve your chances of receiving a fair settlement. A proficient attorney will evaluate your case thoroughly, gather all evidence, handle negotiations with insurance companies, and potentially represent you in court if necessary.

Settlements vs. Court Verdicts

In car accidents involving injuries, parties often reach settlement agreements before going to trial. Settlements enable both sides to negotiate terms without enduring a litigation process. While settlements offer resolutions, they may not always lead to maximum compensation.

Alternatively, if an agreeable settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, your attorney might recommend proceeding to trial. In such scenarios, a jury will review all evidence before delivering a final verdict, determining the compensation awarded.

Closing Thoughts

Psychological injuries stemming from car accidents merit recognition and compensation akin to injuries. Properly documenting these injuries with records and professional assessments is crucial when seeking recompense. Collaborating with a personal injury lawyer is crucial to guaranteeing that your claim is fairly evaluated during settlement talks or potential court appearances.

It’s important to remember that each case is distinct and demands care. If you’ve experienced trauma from a car accident, it’s recommended that you seek advice from experts who can evaluate your situation and assist you in navigating the claims procedure. Pursuing compensation for your distress not only safeguards your rights but also aids in your mental and physical healing and recovery journey.
