Molina – “Organs” (Feat. ML Buch)

Molina – “Organs” (Feat. ML Buch)

A couple months back we were introduced to the Danish-Chilean artist Molina via “Scorpio.” It turns out that song was an early preview of When You Wake Up, a new LP coming in October. “It’s a record where I focused on the accidental and immediate,” Molina says in a press release, explaining that she let these qualities “become the center of the songs.”

Along with album details, today Molina has shared “Organs,” the closing track. “Organs” is a collaboration with fellow Copenhagen standout ML Buch, a favorite around these parts. The song delves into a hyperreal atmosphere that will be fondly familiar to Buch fans, merging sample-based electronic production with live instrumentation to form a yawning backdrop for Molina’s calm, melodious voice.

Molina offered this statement:

“Organs” is very much a fusion of our individual approaches to perceiving melodies, recordings, and sound in general. We are both fascinated by the “pulse” in music and how a song can be perceived to move at different paces. We also share a mutual attraction to catchy melodies. ML tends to unfold words with the melody in an elastic manner, while I prefer more on-the-note vocals that introduce unexpected harmonic shifts. “Organs” kind of holds all those elements of fascination and exploration together.
