Wed 21
2013 studio album by Juana Molina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wed 21 is the sixth studio album by Argentine singer and songwriter Juana Molina. It was released on 28 October 2013 by Crammed Discs. From 2009 to 2012, Molina worked on the album independently, recording at her house in Buenos Aires. Musically, Wed 21 is a folktronica album with a sound similar to her previous releases,[6] but with innovations like the use of bass, drums, many electric guitars, noise, a horn and more detailed electronics,[13] which led the Argentine edition of Rolling Stone to describe it as her most "rocker" album.[12] The album received rave reviews from music critics, who noted it was not a departure from her distinctive sound but still a progression.[14]
