Magnolia Electric Co.

Magnolia Electric Co. was the name Jason Molina used after the final Songs: Ohia album and then as a touring/recording band built around his songwriting. Based in the U.S., the project sits in that stark, emotional intersection of indie rock and alt-country, built on Molina’s plainspoken voice, slow-burning guitars, and songs that tend to feel both intimate and wide-open.

The debut under the name, *The Magnolia Electric Co.* (released as a Songs: Ohia record), set the template, and the band-era releases that followed—like *What Comes After the Blues*—expanded it into road-worn anthems and hushed, haunted ballads. Over time, Magnolia Electric Co. became one of the key chapters in Molina’s catalog, closely tied to the same spirit that runs through Songs: Ohia: heart-on-sleeve storytelling, grit, and a knack for making quiet devastation sound strangely comforting.
