Otherwordly avant garde from Guatamalan pop cellist and baroque expressionist Mabe Fratti. Latest album Sentir Que No Sabes pulls no punches..A fantastic atmosphere that weaves an increasingly tighter mesh and spell with each passing track.
If you don't like Art with a capital A chanted in Spanish with a weird, constantly shifting disorientating backdrop, you should probably give this a wide berth. .Pushing the borders of pretension like there's no manana.
Incredibly theatrical right from the off.. All the way to the puesto de acabado. That's finishing post for those without immediate access to Google Translate. Fratte's vocals have a tightly meshed, lyrical power and resonance and the instrumentation dots the ''i in intensity..
Serving up reminders of Scott Walker, Okkyung Lee and Arthur Russell along the way. What d'you mean who ? This is truly out there. Am extraordinary journey.
