Steiger

For about ten years, Steiger has been casting itself as one of the most idiosyncratic bands on the Belgian jazz-and-crossover scene. The trio, consisting of pianist Gilles Vandecaveye-Pinoy, bassist Kobe Boon and drummer Simon Raman released three albums and an EP, which received rave reviews from the press at home and abroad. After a few years in the lee, during which the musicians focused on other projects, the trio reunited with great enthusiasm for a fourth full album, to be released in October 2025.

This release, entitled Mowglowski's First Take, brings all their experiences and experiments together in a fresh and organic way. The joy of playing and the sense of making music together is very much audible on their new album. In collaboration with producer Frederik Segers (Stadt, Fulco, De Beren Gieren, Black Flower...) they came up with a dynamic, idiosyncratic record that is very accessible. The music exudes a joy of life, with a good dose of humor, but does not shy away from darkness either. The lovely, controlled versus the wild and free.

Steiger embraces great contrasts, taking the listener into their unique musical universe.
