Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Prior to Segundo, Juana Molina set aside the budding musical career she'd pursued since childhood to become one of TV's most acclaimed comedians in her native Argentina. Her original muse may have been denied for seven years, but was never forgotten; indeed, Molina has managed something of an unexpected musical delight here. Her breathy, gentle vocals haunt unusual song structures and the album's quiet, playful production seems like some restless ghost, wandering a sonic landscape that's as electro as it is Latin. That pan-cultural, less-is-more sense is rare on any collection, let alone on a sophomore album (Rara was released in her native country in 1996) cobbled together between club gigs while living in Los Angeles.

Driven by an insistent, plaintive guitar and producer/collaborator Alejandro Franov's delicate, bubbling synth riffs, Molina's unusually structured songs often seem to float in on a breeze and escape on a daydream. She's claimed the album was recorded in moments near the edge of sleep, and that stream-of-unconscious tack variously involves rhythmic choruses of barking dogs, ticking watches and rainforest soundscapes--most so delicately rendered they sometimes seem an auditory illusion--seasoned with impossibly plastic washes of synth and carried by Molina's sweetly somnambulistic vocals. More impressive, Molina's songwriting sense seems as inscrutably subconscious. This is a rare, true musical adventure from first track to last. --Jerry McCulley, Amazon.com



CD Description

The appropriately titled second album from the Argentinian actress turned singer-songwriter is a characteristically experimental affair that marries looped Latin rhythms with gentle acoustic and electronic instrumentation. Recorded in collaboration with Alejandro Franov, 'Segundo' won EntertainmentWeekly's Best World Music Album award in 2003.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, quirky, intriguing..., 24 Dec 2003
Juana Molina's 'Segundo' (Second) could perhaps best be summed up as pastoral electronica, with pulsing soundscapes and field recorded (literally!) samples intertwined with Juana's delicate voice and acoustic guitar. The opening track 'Martin Fierro' sets verses of Argentinas greatest epic poem of the same name (a tale of a set upon gaucho (cowboy) trying to live a peaceful against the backdrop of war and urbanisation in 19th century Argentina) against a building chorus of electronic swoops and twangs. Further highlights include 'El Perro' (The Dog) with the barks and yelps of her 'best friend' punctuating and climaxing the track and 'La Visita' (The Visit) telling the tale of a journey accompanying her mother around Los Angeles with its highlights of the 99 Cent store and architecture by Neutra, Lloyd-Wright and Schindler. If you know Spanish it will help but even without it this music envelops and delights on repeated listens.
