Magnolia Electric Co. – Josephine

LP, Secretly Canadian, 2009

Recorded by Steve Albini

---

While Magnolia Electric Co’s final record is still tinged with the weariness & melancholy that pervades all of Jason Molina’s previous work, Josephine also feels imbued with vital life force, bittersweet romance, and hopefulness that make it uplifting despite the odds.
