Sojourner is an aptly titled monolith, one that invites fans of Magnolia Electric Co. with a "thank you for believing," even as it urges them to take in more of the picture than ever before.
-
UncutEven by his prolific standards, Sojourner is impressive. [Oct 2007, p.99]
-
MojoMolina devotes will yearn to bask in this full bloom of Magnolia. [Oct 2007, p.91]
-
Molina still sounds rootless and displaced, but Sojourner triangulates a place that's as close to home as he ever seems to get.
-
I don't have the conscience to recommend Sojourner to the uninitiated, but as a document of what Molina acolytes already suffer, it's essential.
-
Under The RadarThere is a lot here to digest, but perhaps the most striking thing about Sojourner is how little of this imposing set could be called inessential. [Summer 2007, p.74]
-
In small doses these acoustic dirges and country-rock laments--played at tempos that make Crazy Horse sound like Slayer--pass by indistinctly, but over time, the slow-blooming guitar solos and age-old folkie melodies of tracks like 'Bowery' and 'Trouble in Mind' reveal their sturdy, dignified strengths.
