If you've ever zoned out to the "Rites of Spring" section of Disney's Fantasia, perhaps you, too, have wondered what this planet will look like when we're all fossils. Jimmy Hughes is in the same boat. The Philly/Athens, Ga., impresario is pondering post-people world on Home Church Road, the forthcoming release from his split-city collective Folklore. Their ghostly Americana should play perfectly into the new song cycle, as will the work of Athens artist Hannah Campbell. Her style splits the difference between earthy and ethereal, and on Wednesday she'll exhibit pieces created for Hughes' project at The Bean (615 South St., beancafephilly.com), as Home Church Road spins in the background. Give a look and a listen while you still can.

The piece of music used in "Fantasia" is "The Rite of Spring," not "Rites of Spring." Rites of Spring was a post-hardcore/emo band in the 1980's. Either way, the Bean Cafe rules.
