Secretly Canadian Magnolia Electric Co. plays Iron Horse Tuesday night.
Secretly Canadian band Magnolia Electric Co. pulls into Northampton tonight for the 40th date of a 44 date tour. They were at The Middle East in Cambridge last night and a trustworthy friend reports the show was transcendent. Kind of like that 27th mile in the marathon where you find that otherworldly wind that carries you through. Like any of us run. Jason Molina seems to believe that names change as easily and as quickly as the scenery. After retiring Songs: Ohia in 2003, he started up Magnolia Electric Co. He and they tour constantly playing something like road-trip art-rock, the echo of constant motion through an American landscape. Sojourner, the new box set, has four discs and a full-length tour DVD packaged in a wooden box with a medallion and postcards. Fork over your rent at the merch table. Come see some truly original music in an increasingly unoriginal world. Meet your next love amidst fascinating people with good taste, assorted delusions, and delightful emotional disorders.
