  1. 10.0 |   The Independent

    Fascinating, enjoyable and original
    Read Review

  2. 9.0 |   The Quietus

    Closest thing to genius I've heard since her last one. Get some warmth back in your bones
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    It’s as if extra-terrestrials have had a bash at making contemporary Earthling pop music but didn’t quite nail it. And in this instance that’s a charming if slightly sinister thing

  4. 8.0 |   All Music

    As usual, humor is part and parcel of Molina's musical architecture on Wed 21. You can hear it in the whimsy of her delivery and in her numerous, almost incalculable juxtapositions of rhythms and melodies

  5. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Molina has always known her audience, but Wed 21 has the potential to gain her new fans – people who appreciate music not easily defined by genre, or even by words

  6. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    An album from an artist who follows her own star
    Read Review

  7. 8.0 |   The List

    Molina delights in the curious earworms - wobbly electronic basslines, glitchy industrial beats and pitch-bent steel pans – she deftly weaves in and around her gorgeous vocals

  8. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Don’t let your poor Spanish or lack of bilingualism (or total lack thereof) stop you from giving this record a spin
    Read Review

  9. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    There’s a lot to take in throughout Wed 21’s richly layered and complex matrices, but in no way do they hinder Molina’s streak of keeping things minimal
    Read Review

  10. 7.3 |   Pitchfork

    The sense of familiarity carried over from her other records works in her favor, making Wed 21 feel like an old friend who's back in town with a clutch of new stories to tell
    Read Review

  11. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    On an album with more layers than a sizable trifle, Molina manages to remain something of a minimalist in her presentation
    Read Review

  12. 6.5 |   Under The Radar

    The language barrier never detracts from the impact of her songs; the blend of acoustics and electronics on Wed 21 is as expressive as Molina's tranquil delivery
    Read Review

  13. 6.0 |   Q

    Messes with your head even as it lulls you in a warm bath of eccentric femininity. Print edition only

  14. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Brings more instruments and a patchwork array of electronic sounds to the mix with frequently enchanting results. Print edition only

  15. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    This is a serial music which, at its best, electrifies
