Set to release on February 21, 2025, under the ANUK Label, this album is a testament to Stucki's evolving musical journey, which has seen him explore a range of genres and styles.
"Blue False Indigo" is a departure from the bluesy origins of Stucki's previous work, "SCHWINGUNGEN," and instead delves into the complex and unpredictable realms of avant-garde and free jazz. The album's nine tracks, including standout pieces like "Iberis," "Twin White Oaks," and the titular "Blue False Indigo," showcase the dynamic interplay between Stucki's virtuosic guitar work and Courvoisier's nuanced piano playing.
Clocking in at just over 42 minutes, the album is a concise yet powerful exploration of sound and improvisation. Each track is named after a different plant, adding an intriguing botanical theme to the musical experience. From the delicate and ethereal "Elderflower Tree" to the intense and driving "Hybrid Spinosissima," the album offers a diverse range of moods and textures.
Fans of Stucki's previous work will appreciate the fresh direction he takes with "Blue False Indigo," while newcomers will find it an excellent introduction to his unique musical vision. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or simply looking to explore something new, this album is sure to captivate and inspire.
