Magnolia Electric Co. (a/k/a Songs:Ohia)

MUSIC: Magnolia Electric Co. (a/k/a Songs:Ohia) I’ve long been curious about Jason Molina’s project. He’s often mentioned in conjunction with Will Oldham and Co., (the two have collaborated on records that I haven’t heard yet). I went to see him play with his larger ensemble, the Magnolia Electric Co., last night at First Unitarian. I was completely transfixed by the sound. Gorgeous alt-country twang and introspective heartfelt lyrics were punctuated by the occasional hard-rock moment.
