    Juana Molina dropped her best album to date wich is kind of amazing because she keeps evolving as an artist and getting better and better. Her album Wed 21, released on 2013, was a hard one to top. On this album she delivered some hauntingly beautiful and sober songs, with rich and surrealistic lyrics. The use of synths as a loop was also incredible intriguing and it's so involving.

    Progress really doesn’t come into it. Rather, each track here, particularly the bumpin’ highlights “Cosoco” and “Cara De Espojo”, can be seen simultaneously as both a refinement and amplification of everything that has made Molina’s music such a rare delight over the past decade.

    Halo is just as effective when taken purely as an aural experience; just like the symbolic spirit she invokes, her challenging and throbbing entanglements are impossible to turn away from.

    Though the sounds can be thin, the atmosphere is thick and evocative.
