Performer Notes

Personnel: Jason Molina, Shane Aspegren, Mike Mogis, Alasdair Roberts.
Recording information: Dead Space.
Subdued and somber, Ghost Tropic could make for the perfect soundtrack to a midnight walk along a deserted street. At its center is Jason Molina's voice, beautiful and frail, surrounded variously (though rarely at the same time) by sparse guitar, keyboards, and percussion. Everything moves as slowly as a three-legged dog, and anyone neither patient enough nor attuned to Molina's style of songcraft (imagine Neil Young doing very mellow gypsy folk music) might very well be put to sleep. ~ Christian Hoard

Professional Reviews

The Wire (12/00, p.60) - "...He establishes and maintains a mood throughout, reaching a peak with 'Not Just A Ghost's Heart', which glimmers with a gloomy potency."

NME (Magazine) (11/4/00, p.47) - 7 out of 10 - "...Finds this black-hearted quartet selling their bleak alt-country back to the yanks through Stateside indie Secretly Canadian..."
