Magnolia Electric

Jason Molina's sixteenth full-length with Secretly Canadian, and Magnolia Electric Co.'s fifth full-length. "Josephine" is a concept album that pays tribute to the life and spirit of fallen bassist Evan Farrell. It contains some of the strongest songs Molina has written. He's approached the universal loneliness before, but never in such a focused, directed manner.

Brand new album by Thunder Dreamer is the band's most fully realized and affecting work to-date. Capture finds the four piece in torch-bearing form. Even when the band are crafting a gleaming slice of Americana think Whiskeytown at their most opulent or Songs: Ohia's rollicking pomp the whole thing is underpinned by an overwhelming poignancy. Capture is a more complete and substantial gritty take on the great American songbook, with its arms and heart left open to all. The album was recorded by Mike Bridavsky (Magnolia Electric Co., Mac Demarco, Mount Eerie) at Russian Recording in Bloomington, IN and mastered by T.W. Walsh (David Bazan, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Julien Baker). Art direction and design by Aaron Tanner (Pixies, Ween).

The time is right for CBP to finally release a recording made up of cover versions. "Horrific Honorifics" is an unashamed celebration of songs that have either influenced Justin Greaves and CBP in music and life, or have been on the “cover song short list” for quite some time, waiting to be recorded once the opportunity arose.
Throughout the history of the band there have always been the occasional cover songs, but mostly consigned to the extra-or-hidden-track department, although a couple of songs made it onto albums such as “Of A Lifetime” on I,Vigilante, and most recently “Turn To Stone” on the critically acclaimed album Bronze, which were instant hits and popular live songs. Now it’s time to dedicate a whole release to this CBP tradition…
