All Music Guide
Far more than someone like Beth Orton -- who seems positively conventional in comparison -- she's creating a new paradigm for singer/songwriters, with electronics an integral part of her sound, rather than an afterthought.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly
A luminous combination of fragile folk and bubbling electronica. [4 June 2004, p.80]
Spin
Evokes Bjork as a Latina wallflower, sketching gossamer balladry with acoustic guitar and oddball synths. [Jun 2004, p.108]
Junkmedia
Somewhere between Beth Orton and Iron and Wine, Molina's music feels like it's been pulled direct from the surrounding air; a spring breeze given shape.
Read Full Review >Magnet
Molina's delicate vocals glide and dip, leaving Bjork earthbound on the shore and pea-green with envy. [#64, p.102]
Tiny Mix Tapes
The songs are lovely and placid enough to soothe the stressed and unnerved listener, but evocative enough to instill a disconcertingly curious sensation that lingers in a blissfully unfettered fashion.
Read Full Review >Blender
It's an attractive kind of stoner-folk, whose dimensions she controls on a minute level, with enough gradually shifting detail to get lost in. [#27, p.139]
No Ripcord
Tres Cosas does then what all good third albums should do – it takes the best bits from her earlier works, perfects the model, and then goes a little bit further.
Read Full Review >Pitchfork
A record of mixed materials that still sounds natural; a far cry from some of folk music's more hamfisted attempts at acoustic/electronic collusion.
Read Full Review >Q Magazine
Sounds like a recently awakened Aphex Twin in warm snooze mode. [Oct 2004, p.133]
Rolling Stone
Molina brings an offbeat sense of humor to the hypnotic, electronica-informed songs. [13 May 2004, p.74]
Dusted Magazine
Molina succeeds in creating a sound refreshingly unfamiliar and exotic.
Read Full Review >Stylus Magazine
While Tres Casas is a large step forward for Molina, and a better album than Segundo, paradoxically, it’s a less enjoyable one.
Read Full Review >Village Voice (Consumer Guide)
Boring strummed singer-songwritering with not terribly interesting electronica.

súper bueno
jose r gave it a10:
good job juana! great album! you´re getting better and better! Fron "Rara" to "Tres Cosas" you can tell you´re growing as an artist/songwriter. It´s difficult to show entangled emotions in a very simple way. You and few other artists can reach that! congrats!
Ricardo M gave it a10:
Es simplemente magnifico!!!!!!!
Daniel B gave it a 9:
Subtly textured hymnotic folk electronica that retaining a feeling of relaxed unpretentiousness manages to make almost imperceptible political statements and paint images that stir your imagination evoquing your own analogous images and emotions. Exceptional. Can't wait for the next one.
