From\nthese, sophomore album \u003ci\u003eFading Trails\u003c\/i\u003e was born. But the four sessions, in\nfull, chart the celestial map of Magnolia Electric Co.: its constellations and\nshooting stars, its Americana stompers and lean folk dirges. And, of course,\nthe center of gravity that is Jason Molina’s mournful, incomparable voice.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe session known as “Nashville Moon” was recorded by Steve Albini at\nhis Electrical Audio studios in Chicago, Illinois.

This anniversary release of the band’s first EP includes three additional tracks: remastered demos of “31 Seasons in the Minor Leagues,” previously titled as “Tonight I’m So Down,” and “Lonesome Valley,” recorded at Echo Park Studios in Indiana during the Hard to Love a Man sessions, as well as “One Thin Dime,” recorded during the Black Ram sessions at Sound of Music Recording Studios in Richmond, Virginia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Working class rock’ is a phrase used frequently to describe The Magnolia Electric Co. Categorically, the band has secured their place amongst like-minded icons such as Bob Seger, CCR, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, but it's not merely an aesthetic description. Magnolia backs it up with their work ethic. Amazingly, The Magnolia Electric Co. will have been on the road eight months by the end of 2005. This fact is most apparent to the band members themselves having been away from their homes and their loved ones for such extended periods of time. Hence the significance of the title track. When Jason Molina assumes the perspective of the one he left behind on \"Hard To Love A Man” and sings: “It was hard to love a man like you \/ Goodbye was half the words you knew \/ While you were waiting for me not to call \/ I sent my love,” the loneliness and guilt of separation is painfully obvious. The wounded feminine voice of Jennie Benford, coupled with Jason Groth's sweeping guitar and Mike Kapinus' mournful organ dramatically reiterate this sentiment. Mark Rice and Pete Schreiner deliver their signature tight and tasteful rhythm and Nicole Evans adds a new and dynamic voice. While \"Hard To Love A Man\" and live set favorite, \"Werewolves Of London\" were recorded with Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio Studios, the rest of the tracks were recorded during a brief five day visit home in Indiana at Echo Park Studios with Paul Mahern, whose engineering resume includes The Blake Babies, Lisa Germano and John Mellencamp. As we watch Magnolia grow, Jason Molina doesn't have to coach us through another one, letting the inmates run the asylum. The Magnolia Electric Co. cast no doubt by putting their business in the street.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rough Trade","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":55849872720203,"sku":"R8277-0973","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/magnoliaelectricco-hardtoloveaman_1938.jpg?v=1762441559"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/magnolia-electric-co.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
