Josephine (album)
Josephine is the third and final studio album by Magnolia Electric Co. For the album, the band teamed up with frequent collaborator Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio Studios in Chicago.[7] The record was conceived as a tribute to late Magnolia Electric Co. bassist Evan Farrell,[2][5] and took two weeks to write and record.[7] Josephine would also be the last album released during frontman Jason Molina’s lifetime before his death in 2013.
