Argentine Magic

The sample tracks finally managed to displace A Fine Frenzy from continuous play, so I gave in and bought not one but two albums by Juana Molina. I really liked the three free tracks from Son [UK|US|iTMS] and I previewed the rest of the album on iTunes. It's clear she is getting more experimental over time, and several tracks on Son will be challengingly avante-garde to some ears, not least the title track. But I adore La Verdad as well as Rio Seco.

By contrast, her previous album Tres Cosas [UK|US|iTMS] is hypnotic and soothing. The title track is especially good.

This is all just the sound that's wooing me - I still have no idea what any of the songs is about. I'll have to beg Ana to translate for me!
