Songs: Ohia was a music project led by singer-songwriter Jason Molina. The band's sound was difficult to define, often categorized as indie rock, lo-fi, folk or alt-country. With revolving musicians, Molina remained the sole stable member of the group. Sadly, Jason Molina passed away on March 16, 2013.

Songs: Ohia's album Love and Work - The Lioness Sessions. Available here on Translucent Purple Colored Double LP and CD.

The Lioness is the first Jason Molina project to fully turn away from the battlefield folk and deconstructed Americana of earlier Songs: Ohia recordings. At the dawn of the 21st century, the album felt modern. It aligned Molina with a new set of peers - Low, Gastr del Sol, Red House Painters and, most importantly, the influential Scottish band Arab Strap, whose producer and members were crucial in the creation of The Lioness. The avant-garde tones and arrangements of Arab Strap are absorbed here into Molina's songwriting to create what would become, for many acolytes, the archetypal Songs: Ohia sound. Love &amp; Work: The Lioness Sessions, the box set reissue, will serve as the seminal log of the era, complete with lost songs, photos, drawings, and essays from those who knew Molina best. Nearly another album's worth of material was recorded in Scotland during the album sessions. While similar in tone and structure, the songs seem to deal in the grit and dirt of being. But they're also examples of Molina’s diligence as he constructs what would be the essential elements of The Lioness. In addition to these outtakes, we also have a 4-track session made weeks earlier in London with friend James Tugwell.
