Molina is the Danish-Chilean producer and composer—full name Rebecca Molina (b.
1992)—living in Copenhagen.
Her music flows from an interest in combining digital, sample-based production with organic,
hand-played instrumentation. Her compositions create wide and woozy landscapes: a
pixelating sunset coming in and out of focus and Guitars that blur the lines with jagged
textures and splattered muck.
“When You Wake Up” (label: Escho), the debut full-length from Molina, is a record of
presence—a collage of time spent slowing down and being attuned to life’s cycles and
changes. “It’s a record where I focused on the accidental and immediate,” Molina shares,
letting these qualities “become the center of the songs.” Molina pushed herself to try playing
instruments with which she had less experience to capture a sense of unpolishedness and
spontaneity in the recordings. “I hoped that would create some immediate and unintended
material that I had no control over,” she says, “which, for me, is being present.”
In this way, Molina’s music welcomes listeners to a surrealist universe of fuzzed-out guitars,
ethereal vocals, and layered samples.
Live, she both performs in a duo and trio setup with Collider guitarist Troels
Damgaard-Christensen on guitar and Drummer Benedicte Pierleoni from Baby In Vain.
