Hot Now
Alt-country singer-songwriter Jason Molina is a man constantly transforming and maturing in the quest to perfect his soul searching discography. He had a wonderful run with his band Songs: Ohia, which he retired after six years on the Secretly Canadian label. He wasn't done making music, however. He picked up his guitar again and started a new project named after the last Songs: Ohia album, Magnolia Electric Co.
Often compared to the likes of Neil Young and Will Oldham, Molina's lyrics betray a vulnerability and honesty that is largely lacking today. His songs are sometimes acoustic and sometimes electric, but always introspective and dynamic.
2005 was an amazing year for Magnolia Electric Co., with three releases – the full-length What Comes After the Blues, the live album, Trials & Errors, and the Hard to Love a Man EP. The band will be touring to support those releases in the spring with Two Gallants, Pink Mountaintops and Destroyer. —JM |
