Ten Paces

The Baker Brothers

The record emerged while acid jazz and funk experienced a noted uptick in interest. By channeling the mood of library records and film scores from the sixties and seventies, the band established a distinct identity built on rhythmic precision and thick arrangements.

Technical choices emphasize a warm, vintage aesthetic throughout the recording process. The resulting sessions possess a textured, earthy quality that mimics the feel of obscure soul tapes from a much earlier era. It remains a stark example of their commitment to purely instrumental compositions.
