Un Dia, the fourth release on Domino Records from Argentinean artist Juana Molina is set to be released on Oct 7. It’s being called “a brave departure from her previous work (with pronounced rhythms and bold low end) [but] every bit a Juana record, as personal and intimate as always.”

The album was recorded by Molina, with guitar assists by Gareth Dickson (from Vashti Bunyan's band) at her home outside Buenos Aires.

Commenting on the record, Molina noted, in a statement, “I noticed the rhythm in the music on previous records was tacit. There, but concealed. Some people didn't feel there was any kind of rhythm at all!  On this album I decided to make what was pretty obvious for me, more obvious to others, to bring it to the front.  All that was insinuated in the past is now more tangible, hearable.”

More background from her label:

For the uninitiated, Juana Molina grew up in Argentina, and was exiled to Paris with her family at the age of 12. Her father is THE coolest of cool old school Tango singers and her mother an actress. Juana herself spent many years as a comedic TV star in South America but made a complete break with acting at the height of her career to return to music (a move that, which must be noted, was met with nothing short of hostility back home).

Since releasing her first album, Juana has won praise from all corners. She counts David Byrne, NPR and The New York Times among her many supporters. She is adored by a loyal fanbase drawn by a sound that is like no other.

"Un día voy a cantar las canciones sin letra y cada uno podrá imaginar si hablo de amor, de desilusión, banalidades o sobre platón," says Juana.

Or in English "One day i will sing the songs with no lyrics and everyone can imagine for themselves if it's about love, disappointment, banalities or about Plato. Un Dìa (one day).”
