LP version. Dishwasher_ are the latest disciples of yet another new wave of talent in the fertile Belgian groove and jazz scene. It would, however, be a shame to limit them to the constraints of any given musical style. Ever since their formation in 2019, the Ghent-based trio have been experimenting with all possible genres to create a contemporary sound they can now rightfully call their own. With their self-titled debut album, to be released in April 2023 via Sdban Ultra, they are closing off an impressive first chapter, delivering a unique and diverse yet coherent collection of groove-driven cuts. While labeling Diswasher_ as a jazz band wouldn't do them enough justice, it is a fact that improvisation and a certain free approach turn out to be key in the creation and performance process of the album's tracks. Werend, Louise, and Arno specifically aim to capture their live energy and synergy on the album by experimenting with structures and textures, playing with song lengths and implementing influences from various other styles -- electronic music in the first place, but as well traces from (Middle-)Eastern and Balkan music, next to dance, hip-hop and even metal. As a result, the record tends to be a pure and honest representation of Diswasher_'s musical identity and artistic quest over the past years -- both as individual musicians and as a band. Saxophones drenched in effects, diverse layers of synthesizers, a bass guitar hopping from fingerpicking licks to deep and drone-like bass tones, drums can sometimes sound like drum computers, and sometimes as subtle rhythmic chords: it's pretty clear how deep this trio have dived to search and find something totally fresh and new. Members of the band are Arno Grootaers, Werend Van Den Bossche, and Louise van den Heuvel. Their debut album is coming out via Sdban Ultra.
