Un Dia is fifth album by Argentine singer-songwriter Juana Molina. Musically she combines Argentine folk song elements with modern indie, post-rock and electronic currents. The tone is set by nylon string guitars and multi-layered vocals-as-instrument overdubs. On the new album one also notices a bit of rhythmic complexity. Even though the percussion sounds usually light, here are heard interesting syncopations, the motorik persuasion of electronic dance music and even unusual time signatures. Structurally the music emulates techno, the composition of pieces often gives a lot of computer musicians a run for their money. Except that textures are all organic sounding and in terms of mood the result bears affinity to South-American folk music. Generally this is a masterfully executed indietronica/folk/post-rock album, even if it all sounds a bit introverted. This is a truly mellow album. Not recommended for those who are always in a hurry.
