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, era: 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 e 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 sequência, em agosto de 2007, "Sojourner", uma edição limitada com quatro CDs, para os fãs. Infelizmente, Jason Molina sofria de alcoolismo há anos, doença que o levou à morte por falência de órgãos em março de 2013, com a idade de 39 anos (David Serra, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).
