Magnolia & Johnson Electric Co. - Wooden Heart / Twenty Cycles To The Ground

The remaining members of Magnolia Electric Co. joined forces with Will Johnson to record their two songs from the 2009 collaborative album, Molina and Johnson. 

Will Johnson is the Texas songwriter in Centromatic, South San Gabriel, and a current member of the 400 Unit with Jason Isbell. He was part of the 2009 collaborative album, Molina and Johnson, a record for which a tour was canceled due to Molina’s struggles with alcohol.

Magnolia and Johnson Electric Co. (featuring Will Johnson along with original Magnolia Electric Co. members Mike Brenner, Jason Evans Groth, Michael Kapinus, Mark Rice, and Pete Schreiner) convened in Texas ine arly 2025 to record new studio versions of both Molina’s and Johnson’s songs, much in the vein of the 2018 Goshen Electric Company collaboration between Magnolia and Oaks.

Iconic artwork, by Will Schaff, graces the cover, whose artwork has now been inextricably linked to Jason Molina's songwriting.
