Propelled by Marcos Baggiani’s supple but also powerful drumming, Guillermo Celano’s arousing guitar, the intense bass guitar Jasper Stadhouders (mainly known for his inimitable guitar playing) and the lyrical, explorative sax lines of the German-American rising star Ingrid Laubrock, Lily’s Déjà Vu’s music defies categorization.
The driving power of the band calls forth echoes of heavy rock, the supple swing is reminiscent of jazz, the instrumental explorations seem to refer to improvised music and the subtlety of the balanced group sound bears resemblance to that of a chamber music ensemble. These contrasts, sometimes taking shape within one song, continuously keep the musicians alert, and grab the listener’s full attention.
