ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Mabe Fratti - "Sentir que no sabes"

Mabe Fratti is chasing something. It seems to be made of sound but it persistently evades clarity. Each record she makes shimmers with her curiosity. Sentir Que No Sabes is one of her most direct, but it is no less invested in experimenting and rerouting the conduits of her music.

Ragnhild Fangel Jamtveit has described it as the album where Pom Poko has matured. New life experiences, such as parenthood, shape Champion into the magical experience that it is.
