At a Songs:Ohia show in the early '00s,
Jason Molina said to the artist William
Schaff that he would love to see himself
depicted as one of Schaff's signature,
skull-headed creatures. The two struck
up a pen-pal friendship and Schaff sent
Jason his picture. In return, he asked for
a recording of the Townes Van Zandt
covers Jason had performed that night.
The pair of Van Zandt covers included
here, recorded at Molina's home on the
north side of Chicago, symbolize not
only the creative turn Molina's songwriting
had taken (seen in his forthcoming
Magnolia Electric Co. release) from
sparse and jagged indie rock to rootsy
folk rock, but also a sonic bond between
two friends who loved each other's work
very deeply. After learning of Molina's
death in 2013, Schaff spent days pouring
over his lengthy correspondence with his
friend, with Molina's oeuvre on repeat. He
created the painting that graces the cover
of this release in the process: Apropos of
everything, a skull-headed creature in
flight. This special 7" release is limited to
3500 copies worldwide.
