My original writeup:
This is the first in my ongoing 'Cassingle' remix series, one-off stand-alone remixes of tracks I adore and - in remixing them - get an excuse to listen to them all the more.
Jason Molina passed in 2013, leaving behind a faultless and gorgeous legacy of heartbreaking and wonderful music. I first heard him on Magnolia Electric Co (of which the song 'Farewell Transmission' remains my favourite song of all time), the first stop on my ride. His album 'Pyramid Electric Co' followed not long after, the sound of a man in a room with one or two instruments, which struck me directly and immediately. The first chord is a lightning bolt through whatever listening device you choose and is a relentless but subtle demonsration of the sweetest of melancholies.
I chose the first track of that album to remix, again, as it afforded me the opportunity to listen to it in even more detail, and hopefully share his immaculate voice with any of y'all who may be yet to hear him, and with those of you who already enjoy him and his appearances.
Made with love and respect. Thank you for peeping.

• If you like this one, you might like my 'Wolf Diesel Mountain' mixtape, which is entirely MPC and turntable-based indie rock and hip hop production-based remixes and edits. Very in depth and detailed and has a whole ton of goodies on there...
