Our Take

Swiss drummer Lucas Niggli's latest offering, "Alchemia Garden," is a sonic journey through an enchanting musical landscape. Niggli, known for his experimental approach to jazz and avant-garde compositions, delivers a captivating blend of rhythmic complexities and melodic surprises on this album.

The opening track, "Mercurial Madness," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its frenetic energy and intricate drum patterns. Niggli's virtuosic drumming is on full display here, as he effortlessly navigates through the shifting time signatures and unpredictable dynamics.

On "Lunar Lullaby," Niggli takes a more subdued approach, showcasing his sensitive side as a composer. The ethereal melodies and haunting harmonies create a dreamlike atmosphere that transports the listener to another world.

Throughout the album, Niggli collaborates with a diverse range of musicians, including saxophonist Nils Petter Molvaer and guitarist Eivind Aarset. Their contributions add depth and dimension to Niggli's compositions, elevating the music to new heights.

"Alchemia Garden" is a testament to Niggli's boundless creativity and innovative spirit. With its fearless experimentation and genre-defying sound, this album is a must-listen for anyone craving something fresh and exciting in the world of contemporary jazz. Sit back, relax, and let Lucas Niggli take you on a musical adventure you won't soon forget.
