Pitchfork: Magnolia Electric Co. Hit the Road

Jason Molina and his boyz are gearing up for a tour of the North American west in support of their kinda-sorta debut LP, What Comes After the Blues, set to see the light of day (and the dank of indie record store) this April. You'd maybe think they were skipping the Northeast due to the cold, but they're playing fucking Canada, so it must be all the liberals. The live Magnolia album, Trials & Errors, released earlier this year, is already out of print, possibly due to anguish caused by Rob Mitchum's resoundingly mediocre 5.7 review score. Dates:
