This band seems to be unknown to most people. I believe they officially changed thier name to Magnolia Electric Co. after this disc. This was the first disc I heard from this group. I instantly liked the disc. I sought out older discs by Songs:Ohia and found more great music, but they seemed to be paving the way for this record. The music has sort of a country/alt rock type sound that is hard to classify. Jason Molina lead vocals have a unique sound with great lyrics. There is a sense of sadness to most of the tracks, but the album is not a downer as most songs also seem to have a few lines expressing some type of hope or longing.Simply put, I really like this disc and I always will wonder why a group with such a great sound goes somewhat unknown
