Jorge Caiado and Paul Cut return for another round after their 2020 collaboration on Caiado's. Time & Space LP. Those familiar with the two will know the order of the day: immaculately produced and deeply-felt house music that marries a studio master's subtlety with a live musician's flair. Each of these tracks bursts with the essence of soulful house and its jazz forebears, traversing moods that are by turns wistful, playful and go-getting. Cut's solos on the keys — which recently graced Larry Heard's latest LP — provide the loose counterpoint to Caiado's tight production. Inner Balance softly strikes again.
