On last year's Un Dia, Argentine singer-songwriter Juana Molina continued her trajectory of cobbling together sprawling rhythms, looping instrumentation, and haunting vocals to a point that borders on experimental. Yet Molina's buttery voice and use of slowly bobbing melodies ground her songs before they spiral too far out. The end result is a simultaneously ethereal and jarring collection of songs, reminiscent of Björk's less pop-focused releases, like Medúlla, but coupled with the warmth of Molina's ever-present acoustic guitar. Nine-piece Boston band The Rubblebucket Orchestra opens up with tunes that are mildly trippy, but mostly just groovy and eclectic, its horns, percussion, and Fender Rhodes blending elements of Afrobeat and jazz-fusion under lead singer Kalmia Traver's cool, lilting vocal melodies. 02/12/09 >> go there
