Album Notes & Community Reviews

Retiring the Songs: Ohia moniker, Jason Molina formally establishes Magnolia Electric Co. as a dedicated touring band with this emotionally resonant studio album. The mournful, pedal-steel-drenched country-rock instrumentation perfectly frames Molina's fragile voice and his persistent lyrical obsessions with ghosts, dark highways, and heartbreak.
