INFO
Gent three-piece Steiger are set to release new al bum 'The New Lady Llama' on the 9th April via groove-obsessed label Sdban Ultra.
A 21st century piano trio who continue to exemplify the spirit of ex ploration in their sound, if the critically acclaimed albums 'And Above All' (20 17) and 'Give Space' (2018) prove anything, is that Steiger is not just a band, but a continuous work-in-progress.
On 'The New Lady Llama', Gilles Va ndecaveye-Pinoy (keyboards), Kobe Boon (bass) and Simon Raman (drums) eagerly ex plore the outer margins of jazz and dive into other universes (contemporary musi c, electronica, pop, free improvisation), yet remain faithful to the genre's lon g-standing core principle; that of a flexible transformation.
Winners of the 2017 Gent Jazz Festivals' Jazztalent award, Steiger were one of twelve a cts asked to perform at the prestigious 12 Points Festival in Dublin in 2018 and recent residencies at Vooruit (Ghent), Flagey (Brussels) and deSingel (Antwerp) have allowed the band the opportunity to incorporate new ideas into the music i ncluding prepared piano, harpsichord and synths. Collaborating with Australian c ontemporary electronic and avant garde composer Joe Talia (Oren Ambarchi, Jim O' Rourke), Talia was granted the freedom to remodel/remix the material that the ba nd designed during their residencies. The end result: an electro-acoustic explor ation that blurs boundaries.
'The New Lady Llama' is the next step in Steiger's fascinating evolution as the trio continue its path of renewal and en terprise. Tracks like new single 'Lambda' display a stronger emphasis on sound e xploration. Steiger are not afraid to experiment with off-kilter sounds and atmo spheres as they seek to explore unfamiliar territory.
Striking is als o the increased use of contrasts. The music keeps construction and deconstructio n, form and abstraction, in a remarkable balance. 'Just A Rite' for example is f ull of rapid twists and turns taking something straightforward and turning it on its head with stunning results. Elsewhere, 'Sun Dog' and 'Absolution of a Frenc h Fry' muddy the confines of the organic and the electronic resulting in somethi ng deeply cohesive and compelling.
