Secretly Society

I want this Bright Eyes exclusive, but not a huge enough fan of the Secretly roster in general, definitely not enough for a 3 month sub. I'm hoping they add some Ghostly backstock in time, or have them as a ROTM for the month after.

I have never signed up but I thought that the Bright Eyes and Molina records were pretty much worth the $60 bucks, the last month is a bonus in my opinion.

I'll have to check Molina out. When it comes to Singer-songwriter stuff, I prefer more towards Alt-Country and Americana, more than the indie-rock and indie-pop that Secretly seems to lean towards on their roster.

like 90% of Molina's stuff is sad, about ghosts, roads, or farm animals. he drank himself to death. i think he hues more toward what you like than indie-pop...

I want to like the new Bright Eyes singles more than I do so I can justify re-subbing, but as it stands they aren't doing a lot for me yet.
 
What's a good 3 album Jason Molina primer?

I thought Axxes & Aces was just ok and the Chapelle didn't do much for me since I'm so unfamiliar with his body of work.

Songs Ohia - Magnolia Electric Co. is the most famous and should be everyone's starting point (i think)
Sojourner & What Comes After the blues are also solid/in the same vein as Magnolia Electric Co.
Trials & Errors is a live album but unlike Lachapelle it's much cleaner with a full band
The Lioness is also great but much slower and darker
 
So there's an album Magnolia Electric Co under Songs: Ohia. But also a project of his called Magnolia Electric Co?(which apparently is more electric/full band type stuff)?

Yes. :) He also has a couple albums solo.

The two classics for me are Songs: Ohia - Magnolia Electric Co and Magnolia Electric Co - What Comes After The Blues.

This is why he's not more famous. No one knows what project name to look up. 😁

(100% sarcasm)
 
I would 2nd the suggestion of Songs: Ohia - Magnolia Electric Co. It is his masterpiece.

After that one I would work either backward to Didn't It Rain or forward to Magnolia Electric Company - What Comes After The Blues

Songs: Ohia is more acoustic and sparse, Magnolia Electric Co. is greatly indebted to Neil Young and Crazy Horse.
 
I ended up signing up for Bright Eyes and swapping Molina out for a Jens Lekman album. I love Molina, but just haven't kept up with anything posthumous, and have no idea if I'd want it enough until I hear it

Yeah, i totally get that. I'm crazy about most of his stuff but this one still seems like a mystery. Just hope it's a good quality recording.
