Halo is Juana Molina's seventh album. The twelve songs were recorded in her home studio outside of Buenos Aires, and at Sonic Ranch Studio in Texas, with contributions by Odin Schwartz & Diego Lopez de Arcaute (who have both been playing live with Juana for a number of years), and Eduardo Bergallo (who has taken part in the mixing of her previous albums), with Deerhoof's John Dieterich making a guest appearance in a couple of tracks.
She's back with yet another masterpiece album, overflowing with emotions, musical ideas and mysterious atmospheres. With Halo, Juana Molina picks up where she left off with her previous acclaimed album Wed 21, and shows once more that she really is "on an evolutionary journey of her own devising" (Pitchfork), which has brought the "eerie, hypnotic" music on each of her albums "to increasingly haunting heights (Spin).

Classically trained musician, producer, DJ and composer Kaleema (born Heidi Lewandowski in Buenos Aires, Argentina) has gained increasing attention for her eclectic and effortless mixture of South American and African music traditions blended with modern influences of hip-hop, jazz and R&B.
About her first album, Nómada, she says:
“I think the album has a lot of different moments, some of them more cinematic — like the collaboration with Chancha in “Anima”, others work well on the dancefloor like “Sierra Leona”, “Retorno de Saturno” or “Péndulo” and “Ritual”. Tracks like “Copal” are more emotional, mystic and feminine. I think the best way of enjoying the album is to hear it at home, letting the sounds and atmospheres lift you up.”
