N∆BOU

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 new 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 is an album of metamorphosis: new contributors, new perspectives and deeply personal compositions that transform into music that is raw yet refined, intimate yet powerful.

Claerhout's sound world moves between dreamy atmospheres and melancholic resonance, from lyrical, contemplative passages to playful, groovy energy. Her 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, the latest album takes a bold step forward.

Indigo will be released on 30.01.2026 by Edition Records.
