In March 2003, while on tour, Jason Molina announced that he would rename his band (Songs: Ohia) Magnolia Electric Co. This new incarnation would retain many of the original players and the stylistic direction of the album of the same name. Jason Molina would also continue to release solo work, but this time under his own name. The first such release came in January of 2004, as the full length vinyl release Pyramid Electric Co. While Magnolia Electric Co. and Pyramid Electric Co. were originally intended as a double album, the latter seems to be the stylistic polar opposite of the former. Engineered by Mike Mogis, who also engineered Ghost Tropic, Pyramid finds Jason Molina alone at the microphone with only his voice, a piano or a guitar. Magnolia Electric Co.’s first official release was a live album called Trials and Errors, followed by a studio album titled What Comes After The Blues and an EP, Hard To Love a Man, all three released in 2005.
It is not entirely clear when Songs: Ohia became Magnolia Electric Co. In interviews, Jason Molina has claimed that he considered the tenure of Songs: Ohia over after Didn’t It Rain, which would make Magnolia Electric Co. the eponymous debut album of the new band. In fact the name Songs: Ohia appears nowhere on the artwork of the album and only a promotional sticker on the cellophane wrapping connects it with the prior band name. Nevertheless, Secretly Canadian still promotes the album under the Songs: Ohia moniker. On the other hand, the Magnolia Electric Co. live album Trials and Errors was recorded on April 16, 2003 at the Ancienne Belgique club in Brussels, at a time when the band was still touring under the Songs: Ohia name.

I read that review too before he took away the link. I didn't even think it was worth giving a comment.

While I'll agree that it's hilarious to hear a guy describe Lambchop and Bill Callahan as lucky blind squirrels after listening to both of them more than I've listened to anyone but my absolute artist of all time - let's ignore the sensory deprivation chamber in which TheUniversalMan must live to talk like this. Magnolia Electric Co as an uninspired bar band? I guess I just have to ask - why? Nothing I hear on this album is anywhere close to that take.

Neonfiller, I had the same issues for a while. I kept trying and finally "got" Molina.. All I can say is keep trying, he's worth it.

Hey Neonfiller; perhaps someone has loved you in the past - it's a shame they wasted their time.
