Songs: Ohia

Indie Folk Project by Jason Molina

Songs: Ohia was the musical project of singer-songwriter Jason Molina, known for his poignant lyrics and distinctive voice. Emerging from the indie rock scene in the late 1990s, Molina's work under the Songs: Ohia moniker was characterized by its raw, emotional intensity and blend of folk, rock, and lo-fi elements. Throughout his career, Molina was prolific, releasing a series of critically acclaimed albums that showcased his talent for crafting deeply affecting songs. His music often explored themes of loneliness, heartache, and existential struggle, resonating with a dedicated fan base. In 2003, Molina transitioned Songs: Ohia into a new project called Magnolia Electric Co., which continued to reflect his evolving sound and songwriting prowess. Tragically, Jason Molina's life was cut short in 2013 after years of battling alcoholism-related health issues. His legacy endures through his extensive discography and the profound impact he had on the indie music landscape.
