The Refined and the Raw

« previous episode | next episode »

Friday, May 13, 2005

Argentinian singer/songwriter Juana Molina balances beautiful simplicity with sonic complexity in her songs, mingling her gentle voice and guitar with percolating pots of caffeinated electronics. The refined and the raw also combine in the glitchy tenderness of Mum, the dour joy of Greg Weeks, and the quiet scream of Michael Gira. This show also features some instrumentals and songs by The Vanity Set, Slim Gaillard, John Barry, David Byrne, Fred Frith, etc., plus host David Garland offering the occasional entertaining exhortation to become a member of WNYC.
