The Baker Brothers – Bakers Dozen

The Baker Brothers return with a new album of neo funakteering material.

The Baker Brothers return with a new album of neo funakteering material. Boosted by the appearance of large lunged warbler Vanessa Freeman on a number of tracks, the Brothers have created an album that thankfully looks forward as well as back. Heavy guitars and flowing brass meet behind Vanessa’s questioning vocals on « Walk Into My World ». « Ponky Wockett’s Revenge » is a grittily strummed number, with earthy drumming and eager keys. The Baker Brothers are never going to win any prizes for innovation, but their music is reassuring like the smell of a freshly cooked loaf.
