Juana Molina is back. The Argentine singer-songwriter has announced Doga, her first album since 2017’s Halo. Leading the new album is “Siestas Ahí.” Listen to the new song, co-produced by Molina and Emilio Haro, below. See the album artwork below, too.
Doga is out November 5 via Molina’s own label, Sonamos. Molina began to conceive of the album as she was preparing to play a series of improvisational concerts with keyboardist Odín Schwartz in 2019. “The idea was to play as if I were at home, that is, to improvise,” the artist explained in a statement. “It was a duo mostly of analog synthesizers and sequencers. We recorded everything—so many hours—because there was no way to reproduce what we did; both rehearsals and shows were unique. Some of those ideas were later picked up again.” Molina continued to work on the music in 2022 and 2024, ultimately finishing the album with Emilio Haro.
