Product Description:
The fifth release from Argentinean artist Molina is a brave departure from her previous work. It's every bit as personal and intimate, but pronounced with rhythms and with bold low end added to the mix. A hypnotic record, restless, alive with melodies that surface imperceptibly before burrowing into your brain. The tracks are informed by an ever-shifting and polymorphous sense of groove. The rhythms flow over and inside each other, played out on wood and cymbal and bombo leguero, and woven from electronic glitches. David Byrne, NPR, and The NY Times are some of her many supporters.

This is my first encounter with Ms. Molina and I must say, this recording just blew me away. It's hard to know how to classify it. Is it electronica? Pop? World music? Jazz?

For Juana Molina, creating world music that sounds 'different' is by now something she is used to. On what I consider her best album, "Son", she took the tempo down even further and created a set of slow, intimate groove numbers that also worked as spacial, orchestral masterworks. The artist is indeed an experimentalist, but its quite something that she manages to remain mainstream while doing so, with enough 'pop' elements in her records so as to not be classified 'aloof'.

Jamas hago reviews de discos, no me llama la atención hacerlas; pero habiendo comprado y escuchado este último disco de Juana Molina, me veo en la obligación de decir que es una obra maestra, no puedo quedarme callado esta vez; ya son 5 los discos que esta enorme artista le ha dado al mundo y no llega a tener el reconocimiento que se merece.
Este disco y los anteriores demoran muchisimo en editarse en su propio país, y eso da la pauta de lo poco que se valora a esta genia.
