From the press on Juana Molina's Wed 21 album
A universal playfulness that’s entirely her own. (Washington Post)
Her music still perches on the verge of delirium (NY Times)
It's as if extra-terrestrials have had a bash at making contemporary Earthling pop music but didn't quite nail it. Fascinating, enjoyable and original, (The Independent)
On an evolutionary journey of her own devising…Transportative, like a fantastic fable…like all good storytellers, Molina's gift is in the delivery (Pitchfork)
This might be her best work yet (Mixmag)
Eerie, hypnotic, building to increasingly haunting heights (Spin)
Colourful worlds with buzzing electronics swarming around psychedelic rhythms (Uncut)
Always in motion, this effortless fusion of airy melody and playful eccentricity follows a perpetually fluid course (Mojo)
Like other great popular music musicians who toe the avant-garde line—Tom Waits comes to mind, as does Radiohead—there is a vision here (Pop Matters)
