Juana Molina

I have been following a site called Lost At E Minor for a while now. They have an eclectic mix of art and music on there, often with an antipodean slant that means there's frequently material I don't see on places like 3Hive.

Today they had an excellent pointer to Juana Molina, an Argentinian actress and musician who weaves magical soundscapes with voice and instruments. Her breathy and ethereal voice is accompanied by loops she creates with various instruments. The sound her one-woman-orchestra builds is sufficiently avant garde to be edgy, yet has sufficient melody and gentleness to be beautiful. If only I spoke Spanish. Her new album, Son may well be in my future...

The track they have posted is wonderful, and I quickly snapped across to her own site and found a bounty of richness. There are an additional eight tracks on the Download page. Go explore, especially the videos - I just wish I was going to São Paulo on October 4 so I could go to the concert there.
