Almost Waking is a collaborative album by the American guitarist Bill Orcutt and the Guatemalan cellist and vocalist Mabe Fratti. It was released on May 22, 2026, through Unheard of Hope. The album was developed through remote file exchange after Fratti publicly praised Orcutt's music, and its eight tracks pair Orcutt's guitar with Fratti's cello and occasional vocals. Almost Waking received positive reviews from critics, who described it as an intimate collaboration built around the contrast between Orcutt's guitar style and Fratti's melodic cello and vocal arrangements. It received universal acclaim according to Metacritic, and appeared on midyear best-albums lists by the Guardian, Slant Magazine, and Treble.
