Eight Gates
Jason Molina
Though posthumous releases can sometimes lack focus, these tracks act as a direct transmission from a poetic mind. Most of the material was recorded during the final years of the artist's life.
The aesthetic is fragile and stripped-down. By choosing sparse arrangements, the music centers entirely on the singular vocal performance. It is a private listening experience that provides a final look at a songwriter who left a significant mark on folk music.
