Production

Critical reception

Exclaim! thought that "the transatlantic recording session inspired Molina to produce what is both his darkest and cheerful record to date."[9] The Austin Chronicle called the album "quiet and reflective, numbing and resolute, with writing as simple and straightforward as an ice pick under the ribs."[10] The Sunday Times wrote that "Songs: Ohia's slug- paced folk-blues owe an obvious debt to the spectral yowling of Will Oldham's Palace Brothers, but The Lioness still has the power to turn the most brightly lit room a delicate shade of blue."[11]
