Pitchfork

Considering that he only released two albums last year instead of the promised 17, Magnolia Electric Co.'s Jason Molina has been sort of a slacker recently. Some people might hold up his sold out European solo tour that wrapped up last week as evidence to the contrary, but come on, we know there are recording studios in Europe!

Molina will continue to shirk the studio this spring when he embarks on a full Magnolia Electric Co. tour, which kicks off in Lincoln, Nebraska on March 22 and ends back in Europe after three months. Okay, that almost makes up for the lack of a stratospheric number of new records.
