About

Jason Molina apparently enjoyed creating music under obscure monikers that made it hard to follow his career. In retrospect, it’s easier to see the course. The band name Songs: Ohia encompasses many early releases, including the album <i>Magnolia Electric Co.</i>; the band Magnolia Electric Co. covers everything from 2005’s <i>Trials & Errors</i> through <i>Josephine</i>. Three additional albums—<i>Pyramid Electric Co.</i>, <i>Let Me Go, Let Me Go, Let Me Go</i>, and <i>Autumn Bird Songs</i>—were released as Jason Molina. All albums are subject to varying lineups and varying availability. As music, Molina’s first "solo" album, <i>Pyramid Electric Co.</i>, retains the schematic of previous Songs: Ohia albums. Molina sits down with either guitar or piano and works through a morose set of chord changes that settle on minor keys and unresolved tonalities while he slowly—as in <i>slowly</i>—sings oblique poetry sprinkled like a gospel singer or a field hand singing the blues. “Red Comet Dust” is a test of endurance, but anyone who appreciates the process will find songs like “Division St. Girl” and “Spectral Alphabet” sublime in their purity.
