GADADUWith a kaleidoscopic sense of time and texture, GADADU weaves odd-meter grooves, synth-spiked orchestral arrangements, and unorthodox song forms into a dreamy, soulful sound. Formed in 2013 by bandleaders Hannah Selin and Nicki Adams, GADADU has since expanded to include Patrick Adams (trumpet), Ayumi Ishito (tenor sax), Daniel Stein (bass) and Arthur Vint (drums).The Weatherman Is Wrong, released 30 September 20221.

City of LightsGADADU's third album, The Weatherman Is Wrong, is a foray into the unpredictable - a Pandora's box of textures and rhythms. The album’s title is an allegory for the unpredictable and genre-defying nature of this music. In a world of heavily systematized and regulated media content, The Weatherman Is Wrong brings listeners into a creative wilderness. The feeling of this world, in all its sounds and expressions, exists a posteriori to the predictions of weather instruments and meteorologists.This album synthesizes the musical sensibilities of bandleaders (and spouses) Hannah Selin (voice, viola) and Nicki Adams (piano, synth), whose collaboration spans almost a decade. Hannah and Nicki's divergent musical paths gave birth to the unique elements in The Weatherman Is Wrong. Hannah’s compositions for acoustic instruments, electronics, voices, and field recordings, equally inspired by the natural and the supernatural, have won commissions and international awards. Nicki has released albums as a bandleader on iconic jazz labels Sunnyside and Steeplechase. GADADU’s lineup includes Patrick Adams (trumpet), Ayumi Ishito (tenor sax), Dan Stein (bass) and Arthur Vint (drums). The colorful arrangements, brimming with synths, horns, and strings, reflect GADADU’s live sound since Ayumi joined the band in 2018.Tiny Mix Tapes’s Tristan Kneschke described GADADU’s last album, Outer Song, as “bewitching” and “transcendent,” and The Weatherman Is Wrong continues deeper on this trajectory. The opening track, “Cicadas,” is an ode to the next life. An ethereal drone-like texture unfolds over a field recording of the nighttime insect chorus of Hannah’s childhood summers, overlaid by cascading melodies from voice and horns. “Prove to You” features a full-scale orchestral arrangement, lush vocal harmonies and a guest appearance by Xanthoria Quartet. Short folksy soliloquies (“Bear”) morph into viola-piano duos with 12-tone bridges (“Makeup”). “Dreamhouse” describes a deep-woods portal to another dimension, featuring Arthur’s incisive drums along with an uncanny mix of vocoder, horns, synths, and chanting.The Weatherman Is Wrong includes three original music videos:"Bear" motion artwork by Pasakorn Nontananandh, aka Akaliko (https://www.akaliko8.com/): https://youtu.be/RYINgQnAKHo"Tides" music video by Nicki Adams: https://youtu.be/cSTYFPj4a5o "Ocean's Children" music video by Nicki Adams: https://youtu.be/OnZkdQzkQgs
