Jason Molina has nothing to hide. Though he's dabbled with various pseudonyms (Songs:Ohia for his dark folk musings, Magnolia Electric Co. for the more fleshed-out roots-rock outings), his m.o. is brutally heart-on-sleeve. The delivery on Pyramid Electric Co. is closer to the grim Songs:Ohia template — minor-key acoustic guitar and piano plinkings paired with Molina's distinctively aching incantations. Somehow, Pyramid manages to be even more skeletal and dirge-y than any of his Ohia albums — an impressive and affecting trick. Molina is at his best when he lets his songs stretch (and stretch and stretch), spiraling into flickering, bare-bones campfire epics.
