  • Summary: 'Three Things' marks the third disc for Argentina's Juana Molina, who gained fame in her native country as a sitcom star before venturing into the realm of indietronica (where she draws comparisons to Beth Orton and Lisa Germano).
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 13 out of 15
  2. Negative: 0 out of 15
  1. 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.

    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]
  3. 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.
  4. While Tres Casas is a large step forward for Molina, and a better album than Segundo, paradoxically, it’s a less enjoyable one.

    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! Expand

    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. Expand
