This vinyl reissue contains two previously unreleased Songs: Ohia tracks (\”Debts\” and \”Pilot & Friend\”) and alternative versions of two songs that would later appear on Songs: Ohia\’s Impala (\”Hearts Newly Arrived (Hecla Session)\” and \”One of Those Uncertain Hands (Hecla Session).”

Songs: Ohia trades in the slow gallop of their debut for a more rocking beat on this Hecla & Gripper. This 23-minute, eight-song EP released on the Secretly Canadian label features Jason Molina at his lyrical best, eschewing some of the obliquity of the first Songs: Ohia release. Percussionist Geof Cummings backs Molina on most of the album. The songs have a particular urgency and an unfinished quality to them, as if they are sketches for something to come; and performance and spontaneity were stress above giving them a polished sheen. The song \”Tenskwatawa\” from the first Songs: Ohia full-length is reworked here and renamed \”Reply & Claim.\” There is also a Conway Twitty \”cover\” thrown in for kicks. ~ Jason Nickey
