SON - JUANA MOLINA
Argentinian songstress/producer Juana Molina continues to soar on her fourth full-length effort with some of her most mellow compositions to date. An expert at combining organic elements with otherworldly beats and programming, Molina lays out an impressive web of looping thuds and warped synths, her intimate voice mingling with acoustic guitar riffs. Songs like “La Verdad” and “Hay Que Ver Si Voy” are meditative and warm, while the magnetic pulses of “Malherido” and “Son” add a little danger to the journey. Molina doesn’t take many dynamic risks with the all-Spanish singing but layers her verses to the point where her spacy voice just becomes another instrument (”Un Beso Llega”). “Son” is yet another triumph for Molina, who continues to distinguish herself as one of the most innovative electronic artists today.
