The Quietus marks 20 years of Jason Molina's Let Me Go

The Quietus has published a new essay by Kirsteen McNish on Jason Molina's 2006 album Let Me Go, Let Me Go, Let Me Go. McNish frames the piece around a rainy night in Hull that connected her to the record, two decades on from its release.

Molina, who died in 2013 at 39 from organ failure related to alcohol addiction, recorded the album in Indiana. Slant Magazine once called it 'relentlessly gloomy,' a fair label for a record steeped in poverty and loss. Following the success of Songs: Ohia's final album The Magnolia Electric Co. in 2003, this was a sharper, stranger turn.

The essay notes the toll on Molina, who worked on a Mid West farm to convalesce from illness. His family appealed to fans for funds to help pay for his hospital time. Read the full piece at The Quietus.
