Extremely creative, rich & organic electronica reminiscent of a low-key, latin Bjork, featuring pulsing organic polyrhythms, some acoustic guitar and super sensual Argentinean vocalist Juana Molina. This album has a lot more rhythmic elements then Molina’s past work...a lot of polyrhythmic vocalizations & hand claps layered over deep rhythms that seem to envelop the whole song. According to liner notes the guitarist who plays on this album is from Vashti Bunyan’s band. Start with starred tracks and if you like this album definitely checkout Molina’s albums Son or Tres Cosas for a more mellow experience.
