'''''Wed 21''''' is the sixth studio album by Argentine singer and songwriter Juana Molina. It was released on 28 October 2013 by Crammed Discs. From 2009 to 2012, Molina worked on the album independently, recording at her house in Buenos Aires. Musically, ''Wed 21'' is a folktronica album with a sound similar to her previous releases,<ref name="filter" /> but with innovations like the use of bass, drums, many electric guitars, noise, a horn and more detailed electronics,<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web |last=Jurek |first=Thom |url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=wed-21-mw0002575951|pure_url=yes}} |title=Wed 21 - Juana Molina|publisher=AllMusic. Rovi Corporation |accessdate=15 August 2014}}</ref> which led the Argentine edition of ''Rolling Stone'' to describe it as her most "rocker" album.<ref name="rsarg" /> The album received rave reviews from music critics, who noted it was not a departure from her distinctive sound but still a progression.<ref name=MetaCritic>{{cite web|title=Reviews for Wed 21 by Juana Molina|url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/wed-21/juana-molina|publisher=Metacritic.
