.. About This Release .......................................
: :
: New record, recorded by the great Steve Albini ! :
: :
: Enjoy :) :
: :
: With the wailing lap steel of the album opener :
: ôFarewell Transmission,ö Jason Molina & Company usher :
: in a new day, :
: playing the sort of rock that your cool uncle rolled to :
: back in the æ70s. Landing somewhere on the radar :
: sonically between Bob :
: DylanÆs Desire and Bob SegerÆs Beautiful Loser, though :
: thematically in-line with Lynard SkynardÆs ôSimple :
: Man,ö The Magnolia :
: Electric Colies at the crossroads of working class :
: rock, white soul, swamp rock and outlaw country. :
: While Songs: OhiaÆs last record DidnÆt It Rain was a :
: meditation on roots and stability, The Magnolia :
: Electric Cofinds :
: itself toiling with the wages of change, which is well :
: illustrated in ôIÆve Been Riding with the Ghostö, a :
: real rig rocker that could :
: have easily fit on Time Fades Away, on which Molina :
: sings: See I ainÆt getting better, I am only getting :
: behind. Standing on the :
: crossroad trying to make up my mind. Trying to remember :
: how it got so late. Why every night pain comes from a :
: different place. :
: Now somethingÆs got to change. :
: This thematic preoccupation with change also manifests :
: itself in the rotating cast of lead vocalists. While :
: the entire :
: album boasts a doo wop-like line-up with five vocalists :
: on the floor, six of the eight songs have Molina in the :
: tall stool with the :
: ever-enchanting Jennie Benford (of Jim & Jennie & the :
: Pinetops, who was also a key player on DidnÆt It Rain) :
: as primary back-up :
: vocalist. But on two songs, new Songs: Ohia players :
: step up to take on lead vocal duties, singing :
: Molina-penned songs. Lawrence :
: Peters takes the lead on ôThe Old Black Henö with his :
: fantastic Merle Haggard-esque country croon, while Miss :
: Scout Niblett :
: appears from the nether world of the Ohia wardrobe with :
: feathers in her hair and casts her spell on the Ohia :
: rig barreling :
: through ôPeoria Lunch Box Blues.ö :
: Recorded live, in its entirety, at the hands of Steve :
: Albini at his Electrical Audio Studio in Chicago, :
: Illinois, with the :
: same core back-up band that played on the Mi Sei :
: Apparaso Come Un FantasmaItalian live album, this is :
: the record where the :
: Songs: Ohia fan demographics make a radical shift from :
: the dominant bedroom universe of the worldÆs lonely, :
: sensitive, :
: overqualified young white dudes, and finds refuge in :
: the masses by being embraced by the worldÆs truck :
: drivers, sorority chicks, :
: and hockey players, alike. Indeed, this is the first :
: Songs: Ohia record with more than one song that could :
: be played at a strip :
: joint or monster truck show. Amid the mid-tempo slow :
: jams, there lie some of the most upbeat material that :
: Songs: Ohia has :
: recorded to date. :
