soundscapes in Electronic, Folk/Singer-songwriter

Un Dia's title track has the pedal-twiddling Argentine locking background coos into a groove that later compels her to wail overtop like a polite cross between Gal Costa and OOIOO. Said politesse allows Molina to execute even her kookiest rhythmic ideas without alienating listeners, unlike Yoshimi's aforementioned lot. Claps in threes on the second half of "Lo Dejamos" combine with dryly-picked guitar to provide an avant-lite estro-alternative to Bird Show's astral travels. Like Jose Gonzalez (also of Argentinian heritage), Molina's modern folk is one of the more scenic middles of the road around.
