Juana Molina

What to say about Juana Molina that hasn't been said already?  Since reinventing her public persona from internationally-recognized television actress to singer/songwriter, Molina has been earning accolades and winning over listeners around the world.  Lush and hypnotic, her dreamlike looped compositions are richly textured ecosystems unto themselves, at times somber and melancholy yet somehow always evoking a certain childlike innocence and playfulness.  Once heard, her songs have a way of fixing themselves in one's subconscious, where they drift in and out of focus for ever more.  Rest assured, once you've allowed yourself to be drawn into Juana Molina's music, you will find yourself, some time later, humming along - perhaps to one of her tunes, perhaps to a different tune, long dormant inside of you, which she has helped awaken.

If you dig her stuff, I also recommend checking out Alejandro Franov, who collaborated on the majority of her albums.
