Danish Chilean artist Molina’s debut album, When You Wake Up, moves fluidly between overlayed samples, Broadcast-adjacent arpeggiated synths, and woolly guitar riffs. The producer took up new instruments, such as the guitar and bass, to further expand her horizons. “I hoped that would create some immediate and unintended material that I had no control over,” Molina said in a press release, “which, for me, is being present.” The brain-rattling LP also features guest appearances from electro-pop musician and fellow Dane ML Buch, as well as the artist GB.
