Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing his profoundly prolific output under the Songs: Ohia moniker, Jason Molina delivered one of his starkest, most emotionally desolate collections to date. Utilizing incredibly sparse, lo-fi arrangements primarily centered on acoustic guitar, the recording radiates a deeply intimate, nocturnal loneliness that firmly anchored him within the burgeoning slowcore and indie-folk scenes.
