"Incantation" off of Ghost Tropic absolutely rips! Slowly, slowly descending into the dark.. That whole record is amazing. Magnolia's pretty great too, but I love that post-blues feel of SO.

Ghost Tropic might be my favourite Molina thing. Followed by Magnolia Electric Co (the album) and Didn't It Rain. I never cared for Magnolia the band, but maybe I got off to a bad start with them (a turgid live album). Maybe I should give them another go.

i really like the early magnolia electric co albums. Lioness is a great SO album btw, was my introduction to them, still love it.

God damn, that is rough to hear. I was just wondering this weekend when we'd hear more from him. I really hope he gets himself back in a good place again, even if it means he doesn't make any more music. He was insanely nice when I talked to him really briefly at the first Intonation Festival.

I was asked to point people to this streaming video if they'd like to watch a live Magnolia Electric Co. show from 2007 before, after, or while donating. Enjoy!

Um, or maybe it's streaming audio. I didn't click it yet.

I guess these recordings are actually a few years old, but it's a step in the right direction...

Anyone know what this means? Because, given his recent history, I suspect it means something bad.

Fuck, have seen this on both twitter and facebook from folks that would probably know. Hoping it isn't true still ...
