Juana Molina - Son

Best known in South America as a comedic TV actress, Argentinean-born Molina is also a singer who’s been compared to Björk and “Lisa Germano fronting a muted Stereolab.” The latter description isn’t far off, since Molina mixes delicate folk with percolating electronica to create infectious, dream-like music. Although the songs on her fourth album, including “Río Seco,” “Yo No” and “La Verdad,” are all sung in Spanish, they’re highly hypnotic, with animal noises and other wondrous sounds, and need no translation.
