The breezy Nihon inspired instrumental single “Baseball” from Marcel Borrack’s TD Band is out now through Cheersquad Records & Tapes.

Following on from his acclaimed 2023 album The Telecaster Diaries, Marcel Borrack and his TD band featuring Andy Pap on bass (Ron Peno & The Superstitions), Al Barden on drums (Frente, Kylie Auldist) and Peter (Sweet) Carolane on the organ and percussion, lean into sounds echoing ancient feudal Japan and add that to their already rich mix of easy listening funk, soul and bossa nova grooves.

On “Baseball” The TD Band paint in fine detailed sometsuke (blue and whiite) as Borrack delivers the oriental guitar motif that is so easy on the aural palate that it attaches itself most unassumingly until you realise you are still hearing echoes of it long after your first encounter.

Coming to notice first via the buzzy jangle of his late 2000’s outfit Minibikes Borrack has a diverse career in music. Fascinated and inspired by broad influences, he has always challenged himself to keep developing new skills in technology and production, as well as writing and performing in different contexts.

TD Band will launch “Baseball” with a special free entry show at The Beast in East Brunswick on Saturday November 2nd. The band will be playing two sets of instrumental music taken from both The Telecaster Diaries LP and exclusive instrumental selections from the band’s yet to be announced follow up album.
