Josephine (album) explained

Josephine is the third and final studio album by Magnolia Electric Co. For the recording of the album, the band teamed up with frequent collaborator Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio Studios in Chicago.^[3] The record was conceived as a tribute to late Magnolia Electric Co. bassist Evan Farrell, and took two weeks to write and record. Josephine would also be the penultimate album released during frontman Jason Molina's lifetime – the last being a collaboration with Will Johnson – before his death in 2013.
