Condition: Brand New Ships from: Melbourne
HAGEN by Titanic is the second full-length collaboration between Guatemalan cellist and vocalist Mabe Fratti and Mexican guitarist Hctor Tosta (aka I. la Catlica). The album pushes their sound into bold new territory, combining experimental texturesmuted guitar scrapes, distorted cello, shifting rhythmswith moments of melodic clarity and pop-inflected passages. Throughout its ten tracks, the duo explore contrasts: between dense atmosphere and open space, tension and release, fragility and force. Opener Lgrima del Sol sets a dramatic tone, while other tracks such as Gotera, Pjaro de fuego, and Gallina degollada showcase their growing command of both melody and surprise.
HAGEN also marks further artistic growth for Titanic: in production, arrangement, and emotional complexity. Frattis voice and cello remain central, but theres more room for dynamic shifts, expanded soundscapes, and expressive detailssynths, unexpected percussion, moments of pop shimmer. The album feels cohesive, vivid, and ambitious, balancing experimental risk with accessibility. It stands as a strong statement of where Titanic are nowconfident in their craft, unafraid to challenge listeners, yet deeply committed to beauty and atmosphere.
Reviews
No one could accuse Titanic of playing it safe their songs are filled to the brim with jerky, arrhythmic guitar, cello, and drum lines, each more memorable and unexpected than the last. Paste Magazine
Titanic harness that chaos into an even bigger bang on Hagen, their sophomore album as a duo its as much a beautifully bizarre pop album as it is a series of playfully abstract expressions. Treble
In Titanic: Hagen review, Mabe Fratti and Hector Tosta continue their innovative musical journey Hagen embraces a blend of experimentalism and pop melodies, resulting in a dynamic and unpredictable sonic experience. The Guardian
