2009 would prove a pivotal year in Jason Molina's life, a turning point that would lead to his tragic death only a few, short years later.

Jason Molina Pt. 2 - Eight Gates - "The Spider Bite" Feb 21, 2022

Show notes

Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co. frontman Jason Molina was living in London when writer Justin Taylor caught up with him for an interview in 2010. This previously unreleased audio finds Molina in good spirits, discussing life in London, and provides a rare glimpse of his gregarious, often talebearing personality––one perhaps at odds with his darker musical persona.
