Split

The third release in Jade Tree's split series pairs for the first time two exemplary storytellers: Louisville, Kentucky's MY MORNING JACKET and Chicago's SONGS: OHIA. As always, both contributions are new and exclusive to this release.

MY MORNING JACKET'S releases for the Darla label have showcased a level of songcraft that is destined to be revered in years to come. Their brand of country-rock tent-revival styled jams are so earnestly played that they make a lasting impression -- one that sears the songs deep into the soul of the listener.

As SONGS: OHIA, Jason Molina has made a career of producing majestic compositions of an epic nature for the Secretly Canadian label. His contribution to this split however, approaches an even grander scale than Molina has ever attempted previously: a 10-minute, two-part song featuring notable, but unnamable, Drag City records guests, a dark lord doo-wop coda, and Molina's trademark vocals. This is perhaps Molina's most daring and impressive song to date.
