Indigo, the third album by N∆BOU - a quartet led by Belgian trombonist and composer Nabou Claerhout - marks a remarkable new phase in their creative development. After Hubert (2019) and You Know (2021), Nabou Claerhout presents a renewed line-up of N∆BOU with Trui Amerlinck (double bass), Gijs Idema (electric guitar)
and Daniel Jonkers (drums). Dealing with change, renewal and shifting human relationships, the album builds on the strong foundation N∆BOU has established in Belgium and the Netherlands, while signaling Claerhout's growing international reach. It's an album of metamorphosis: new contributors, new perspectives and deeply personal compositions transformed into music that is raw yet refined, intimate yet powerful.
Indigo's sound world moves between dreamy atmospheres and melancholic resonance, from lyrical, contemplative passages to playful, groovy energy. Haunting tributes such as Light Blue Shawl (for
Stijn) and Consent (for Stijn) sit alongside the structural suite of Ruin & Redemption, Lost Soul and Consent, each piece reinventing itself through form and texture.
Claerhout's trombone remains the driving force, characterized by subtle effects and ghostly solo interludes that weave fragility, weight and liberation into the music. With its balance of intimacy and power, Indigo signals a bold step forward, an album that opens Claerhout's music to a new audience with a captivating and resonant voice.
