Songs:Ohia is a band that has slowly been creeping around in my life. Thanks to Pandora Radio i have been opened up to them more. i bought this album on vinyl at the Village Green Record store. needless to say, this album is perfect for vinyl.
The cover art is something that should be worth mentioning, as it is a good representation of the music. i think that is something more bands should pay attention to. anyways, the songs are as bare as can be. guitar and piano compose most of the tracks, complete with jason molina's sultry voice. inside the record case is a poster; it is a picture of a dirt road curving through what appears to be a tropical forest. it is tinted a grey-blue. looking at this picture adds to one of the tracks, which is purely composed of a vibraphone and bird noises.
i can't imagine listening to this on a cd because the sound quality and the overall emotion just wouldn't be there, i don't think. i've found myself in the early hours of the morning sitting in my room and just soaking the empitness of Ghost Tropic in. that's all you can really do.
