Description:
What Comes After The Blues by Magnolia Electric Co, released 5 May 2005.
This version of What Comes After The Blues comes as a 1xCD. -
"What Comes After The Blues" on CD is a haunting, slow-burning masterpiece by Magnolia Electric Co., the band centered around the late singer-songwriter Jason Molina. Released by the respected independent label Secretly Canadian, the album captures a uniquely intimate blend of alt-country, indie rock and twilight-colored Americana. With its sparse arrangements, warm analog sound and emotionally charged lyrics, this CD feels like a late-night confession: fragile, unvarnished and deeply human. Mid-tempo songs, gently distorted guitars, mournful pedal steel and piano support Molina's plaintive voice, which tells stories of loss, hope, doubt and a stubborn will to keep going. "What Comes After The Blues" is ideal for listeners who appreciate artists such as Neil Young, Songs: Ohia or Will Oldham and who are looking for timeless, mood-driven songs rather than radio singles.
Magnolia Electric Co. emerged from Jason Molina's earlier project Songs: Ohia and continued his evolution from lo-fi folk to a fuller band sound steeped in country and classic rock traditions. Known for intensely personal albums and tireless touring, Molina and Magnolia Electric Co. built a devoted cult following in the indie-folk and alt-country scenes. While they never chased mainstream charts, their records have become influential touchstones for a whole generation of songwriters who value emotional honesty and understated arrangements.
