Jason Molina was not one to settle. Throughout his musical career of under his given name, Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co., he lived in nine different locations and has had a dozen different backing bands on record in as many different recording environments.
Fading Trails , originally released on Secretly Canadian in 2006, following the previous year's Trails And Errors, and What Comes After The Blues, represents three of these incarnations and four of these environments. Composed of recording sessions Molina and company did with Steve Albini at his Electric Audio Studio, David Lowery at his Sound of Music Studio, and at the famous Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, Fading Trails also features songs from the home recorded Shohola sessions. The essence of these recordings were extracted to create one cohesive being, something that is hard to define. One head, multiple bodies… the opposite of a hydra head.
