Charli XCX
with Baby Tate
at Palace Theatre
first-avenue.com

Pop singer Charli XCX is headlining the Palace Theatre, in St Paul, on April 28th.

We’ll never forget the time we saw Charli in Chicago in 2013 and wrote, “Of course, her biggest hit song, "I Love It", is actually made famous by Icona Pop. I sensed a little bitterness when she announced the song, "You all know this, I wrote this song. This is my song." Everyone went nuts and danced and sang along, especially during the big chorus of, "I. LOVE. IT." This is why you go to a live show, hearing Charli with the audience is a unique experience.”

Baby Tate to open.

Juana Molina
at Turf Club
first-avenue.com

Argentina’s Juana Molina is returning to the Twin Cities, with this upcoming appearance at the Turf Club in St Paul on April 30th.

The singer promised a more improvisational than previous tours, in her own words: “during the lockdown i dove in some sort of contemplative state. time passed and there i was sitting outside by a fire pit in the garden, just thinking and looking at the sky. everything was so quiet and pristine. and so was i. it took me a long time to be able to play or do other things. one day someone asked me if i wanted to play a live show via streaming and there was the reason to go back. it was like in the old times, when i was playing for hours improvising over and over on the same song. and then a question that have asked myself for years: why is that i never do this live? why being so structured and not get lost on stage like i do when i'm on my own at home. finally i decided to not die without doing it. and i did. and it was the best i could have done.”

Molina’s latest ANRMAL (Live in Mexico) is out now.

Sure, everyone knows that Björk was previously in The Sugarcubes, but did you know she was previously in many other bands? I will be spotlighting some of her early bands, I won't go into a lot of details, only the more famous ones (since many of her early bands did not have official recordings)....

I started doing some preliminary research on Dub Gabriel's Anarchy & Alchemy but it looks like that album's release date was moved from today to November... which is fine because I have a few releases that I need to write about today instead.

Juana Molina - ¡Que Llueva!

I first came across Juana Molina when I saw her striking cover art to Segundo (2005), which is nothing more than a sea of her long, straight hair with just a glimpse of her beautiful nose and mouth. So, as it turns out, her latest album, Un Dia (A Day), comes out today, and also feature a weird distorted album cover artwork, emphasis on her symmetric face and hair.

The interesting thing that I found out about her, was that her family lived in exile in Paris for six years, before returning back to their home country of Argentina. She's possibly better known for being a comedic actress on the television show Juana y sus Hermanas (Juana and Her Brothers).

Un Dia is entirely in Spanish, much like her previous releases (with the exception of Insensible, which is entirely in French), fans of melodic, folk, and world music will not mind this. Although, I will have to admit, it makes it hard for me to write about her music since I don't understand the lyrics.

My best description of her music is that it is sometime ambient music (but done with acoustic guitars) and some of the lyrics are there to just sound good... Maybe I'm oversimplifying it, but it is the impression I got the first time I listened to it.

There are enough odd percussion, traditional instruments, and sweet harmonic vocals on this album that reminds me of later, more experimental Bjork.

My favorite song on this album is "El Vestido" (The Dress), followed by "Quién?" (Who?), followed by "Un Dia". I think "El Vestido" stood out because of the strange electronic ambient and acoustic rhythm.

If you like what you heard and want to check out more, she is offering the title song at juanamolina.com/tourdownload. The album is currently for sale at her record label, Domino Records, as well as online stores. Juana Molina is currently in the middle of touring through Europe and eventually landing over in Japan.

[this is good] Her vocals are very breathy, which makes it very difficult for me to understand her at all; otherwise, I would try to attempt some translation. Then again, I still have a lot of difficulty with sung Spanish (not to mention if it's not a regional accent I'm comfortable with).

However, the 'Net is a beautiful thing: ¡Qué llueva! (¡Que llueva, que llueva, la vieja está en la cueva, los pajaritos cantan la vieja se levanta! - Cancion infantil popular) El tiempo está mal Llueve sin parar Hay que ir a comprar leche agua y pan La vieja está en cama Hace frío y La vieja está ahí Siempre calentita en su cama blanda No se levanta Pero, Hay que salir Tiene que ir Y oye que los pajaritos cantan La vieja se levanta Llega la familia Muy pedigüena No se da cuenta De que la vieja se está muriendo -¿Dónde está el café?- -¡Quiero más paté!- -Eso no está bien, ¡Se quemó el pastel! ¡No servís para nada!- Y el ángel viene a buscar a la vieja de la cueva Y oye que los pajaritos cantan, la vieja se levanta.

Translation (mine): Oh how it's raining! (Oh how it's raining, how it's raining, the old woman is in her cave, the birds are singing that she's waking up-- popular lullaby) [English equivalent: Think of the sing-song chant "It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring, he went to bed, and bumped his head, and couldn't get up in the morning."] The weather is bad It's raining and not stopping I need to go buy some milk and bread The old woman is in bed. It's cold and the old woman is here It's always warm in her (cozy?) bed She's not getting up But I have to leave I have to go out And listen! the birds are singing The old woman is getting up The well-bred family is coming They don't realize That the old woman is dying Where is the coffee? I want more pate! That's not good The pastry is burnt It won't do at all. And the angel comes and looks for the old woman of the cave and listen! how the birds are singing that the old woman has gotten up.

Many apologies if my translation is poor.
