Our Take

LABTRIO's latest release, "Nature City," is a jazzy rollercoaster ride through the bustling streets of their musical universe. This Belgian trio, known for pushing the boundaries of traditional jazz, have once again delivered a quirky and innovative album that is sure to delight both jazz purists and adventurous listeners alike.

From the moment the album kicks off with the energetic opener "Cuckoo's Nest," you know you're in for a wild ride. The intricate interplay between Lander Gyselinck's thunderous drumming, Anneleen Boehme's groovy basslines, and Bram De Looze's mesmerizing piano melodies is nothing short of captivating.

Tracks like "Urban Jungle" and "Concrete Lullaby" showcase LABTRIO's ability to blend complex harmonies with infectious rhythms, creating a sound that is both sophisticated and accessible. The trio's chemistry is undeniable, as they effortlessly weave in and out of each other's musical ideas, creating a seamless sonic tapestry that is a joy to listen to.

But it's not all high-energy madness on "Nature City." The album also has its more introspective moments, such as the hauntingly beautiful "Nightfall" and the dreamy "Dawn Chorus," where LABTRIO showcase their emotional depth and sensitivity.

Overall, "Nature City" is a triumph for LABTRIO, a bold and eclectic statement that cements their position as one of the most exciting jazz outfits on the scene today. So sit back, relax, and let LABTRIO take you on a journey through their enchanting "Nature City."
