Spoken word meets field recordings and ambient on Gudrun Gut & Mabe Fratti’s new LP

Exploring weather through sound.

German producer Gudrun Gut and singer/multi-instrumentalist/composer Mabe Fratti are releasing a new collaborative album, called Let’s Talk About The Weather, via Umor Rex this August.

Produced and recorded accros Berlin, Uckermark, Veracruz and Mexico City, the album explores “weather as the new great unknown, perceived through the optics of everyday life.”

In doing so, the duo bring together spoken word with field recordings, news and weather forecasts, sound sculptures, and ambient.

It follows the label’s release of Driftmachine’s Spume & Recollection album, in March earlier this year.
