10 albums from 2008 (#10)
Yes, we're in the final throes of 2008, which means that once again I come to you with my top ten albums of the year (with MP3s!), stretched out over ten posts to "build suspense." Without further ado, then, I bring you... 10. Juana Molina, Un Dia Is Juana Molina the Latin American Bjork? Er, probably not, but fans of exotic elf-women might will find a lot to like in Molina's vaguely alien song-constructions. (Plus, check out this album cover, my favorite of the year.) And, at the risk of essentializing, Molina's palette is distinctly sub-equatorial: it's sometimes classified as electronica, but it's driven at least as much by its Rioplatense vocals, Argentinian rhythmic elements, and loops of acoustic guitar. Warm, weird, and lovely. On Domino. Listen: Juana Molina, "Vive Solo" Labels: audio_commentary, lists, mp3s, music_commentary
