Biografia:
Depois de aposentar a Songs: Ohia, Jason Molina recomeçou suas atividades com a Magnolia Electric Co., um renovado veículo para explorar o seu country rock. O nome do novo grupo foi retirado do título do último disco da Songs: Ohia, e a banda provou ser a ligação adequada do passado para a próxima fase dos projetos de Molina. A composição inicial do quarteto, em 2003, consistia de Pete Schreiner (Panoply Academy, Coke Dares) na bateria, Mike Kapinus (Okkervil River) no baixo e trompete, Jason Groth (Impossible Shapes, John Wilkes Booze, Coke Dares) na guitarra e Jason Molina empunhando a outra guitarra e cantando. A Magnolia Electric Co. gravou “Trials & Errors” ao vivo em Bruxelas, em 2003, com lançamento pela Secretly Canadian em janeiro de 2005.
Algumas turnês mais tarde, a Magnolia Electric Co. mudou a sua formação, introduzindo Mark Rice (Impossible Shapes, John Wilkes Booze) na bateria e movendo Schreiner para o baixo e Kapinus para o trompete e teclados, enquanto Groth e Molina permaneceram nas guitarras e vocais. O primeiro álbum completo de estúdio da banda surgiu com arrebatadas resenhas na primavera de 2005, pelo selo Secretly Canadian. A banda não desacelerou, passando a excursionar na maior parte do verão e lançando um EP com cinco músicas, “Hard To Love A Man”, em outubro. Em setembro de 2006, lançou “Fading Trails”, e, na seqüência, em agosto de 2007, o “Sojourner”, uma edição limitada com quatro CDs, para os fãs (David Serra, site AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês)
