    Magnolia Electric Company is a watershed album, an artistic breakthrough, and the first album to fully realize Molina's potential.

    Songs: Ohia's better produced album is a real masterpiece. An introspective country-folk rock album in the line of Neil Young's influences that could be considered as one of the best albums of the first halkf of the decade.
