A new tribute album via Run For Cover Records which sees some of the current favovrite artists offering their own unique interpretations of various songs from across the Jason Molina catalogue. In 2024, we named Magnolia Electric Co. one of the greatest albums of all time, because Jason Molina’s presence is felt now more than ever. The late Songs: Ohia frontman can be heard in the likes of MJ Lenderman and Greg Freeman, Arriving September 5th, the compilation is titled ‘I Will Swim to You: A Tribute to Jason Molina’, and will feature musical contributions from: MJ Lenderman, Horse Jumper of Love, Hand Habits, Advance Base, Sun June, Runnner, Sadurn, Friendship, Trace Mountains, Another Michael, Lutalo and Teen Suicide.
The album also features stunning painted artwork by Jason’s longtime collaborator and friend William Schaff.
You can also hear the first two tracks from the compilation today including MJ Lenderman’s rendition of “Just Be Simple” (Songs: Ohia) and Sun June’s “Leave the City” (Magnolia Electric Co.).
Alongside this LP, Run For Cover are releasing a limited split 7” featuring a previously unreleased recording of Jason Molina performing “The Last 3 Human Words (Demo)” on side A and MJ Lenderman’s rendition of “Just Be Simple” on side B
10% of all profits from record sales will be donated to MusiCares® Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Fund, a nonprofit that helped Jason in times of need.
Finally, we’re very excited to say that in collaboration with Static & Distance, Run For Cover have kindly put together a beautiful ‘White Sulfur’ vinyl variant especially for S&D subscribers which is available to pre-order now.
