Juana Molina is from Argentina, but I have a feeling her following lies more outside her homeland than within it. Her music is (I hate to say it) a tad too subtle for the local public here: she takes the smooth, pulsing rhythms of fellow-Argentine Gustavo Cerati and adds more loops and distortions than is possible with a straight-ahead pop song. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that the Argentine public is a fan of Cerati notsomuch because his music is smooth and pulsing but rather because it has an anthemic quality to it. Hence the relative obscurity of Juana Molina in her homeland. (Her whisper-y and somewhat monotone voice is not exactly anthemic either, compounding the problem).
The video features birds on the beach. Cool if you're into that sort of thing.
