Jason Molina is an American songwriting treasure. A true classic. Firstly as Songs: Ohia (basically solo) or as his full band Magnolia Electric Co. The latter return with their first album in three years in the shape of "Josephine". The album, produced by Steve Albini, is dedicated to the memory of bassist Evan Farrell who passed away in 2007. So it carries an extra weight of substance and maturity. I would expect nothing less from the great Molina. Judging by the sound of the title track this album will contain more of that classic Molina sound. "Josephine" is due out on July 21 on Secretly Canadian.
