SONGS: OHIA - SONGS: OHIA Vinyl Record
Songs: Ohia's self-titled debut is the record that introduced Jason Molina to the world — a spare, haunting collection of songs built from little more than an acoustic guitar and a voice that carries the weight of the entire Midwest on its shoulders. Released in 1997 on Secretly Canadian, it captures the Lorain, Ohio songwriter at his most stripped-down and immediate, before the electric expansions of The Magnolia Electric Co.
Molina's songwriting here is deceptively simple — quiet melodies and repeated phrases that accumulate emotional power through patience and repetition rather than dramatic gestures. "Cabwaylingo" and "Cross the Road, Molina" showcase a voice and a vision already fully formed, while the album's skeletal arrangements let every word and note breathe. For those who consider Molina one of America's great songwriters — and the evidence is overwhelming — this is where it all began.
Label: Secretly Canadian

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
