JUANA MOLINA “Halo” LP
Label: Crammed Disc Folk/experimental pop
She’s back with yet another masterpiece album, overflowing with emotions, musical ideas and mysterious atmospheres. With Halo, Juana Molina picks up where she left off with her previous acclaimed album Wed 21, and shows once more that she really is “on an evolutionary journey of her own devising” (Pitchfork), which has brought the “eerie, hypnotic” music on each of her albums “to increasingly haunting heights (Spin).
Halo is Juana Molina’s seventh album, it contains twelve songs and was recorded in her home studio outside of Buenos Aires, and at Sonic Ranch Studio in Texas, with contributions by Odin Schwartz & Diego Lopez de Arcaute (who have both been playing live with Juana for a number of years), and Eduardo Bergallo (who has taken part in the mixing of her previous albums), with Deerhoof’s John Dieterich making a guest appearance in a couple of tracks.
