The soulful instrumental mastery of Cold Diamond & Mink takes center stage in this release that versions two essential tracks from their collaboration with the singer Jonny Benavidez.

On the A-side, “Souvenir”, offers a mellow and introspective deep soul experience, showcasing lead singer Tytti Roto’s knack for emotive storytelling and displaying the band’s versatility and melodic depth. Meanwhile, the B-side’s “Green Ray,” they deliver a psychedelic soul groover propelled by a funky backbeat, inviting listeners on a rootsy sonic journey that might be best observed behind color-tinged 1960s sunglasses.

Faithfully drawing inspiration from innovators like Cymande and Isaac Hayes the band infuses their sound with experimental elements, but still ensure that the songs remain catchy and accessible. These two understated bangers will surely win the hearts of anybody, who likes their soul raw and independent.

One of the prominent growing voices in Timmion Record’s roster, singer Emilia Sisco blesses your turntable with another deep soul ballad. Joining hands with Cold Diamond & Mink, Emilia pours a generous helping of deep soul magic into “Let Me In”, gliding over the southern-tinged beat with melodic grace.

It’s almost impossible to remain ambivalent to Emilia’s talent when the spine-tingling chorus with its clever twists rolls in. The bittersweet love song’s timeless feel pours over the listener like the flooding Mississippi, anthemic but understated. Flipping the single, we get to revisit Emilia’s previous single “Love Can Carry Me” but this time in instrumental mode, titled as ”Way Past Midnight”. It’s not just a vocal strip down, but this time Cold Diamond & Mink has equipped the track with a jazzy Grant Green styled lead guitar. Tasty.

“Is There Love In Outer Space?”-album is out today! Available in standard black vinyl, clear vinyl, and compact disc! We’re really excited to get this one out for you to have a listen! Stream, download or buy the record at our Bandcamp-site or at your favorite record store!

There are certain occasions when you can truly feel the stars align. One of these is when the interstellar voyager of cosmic soul Jimi Tenor finally lands his spaceship at full force on a Timmion recording. In 2024, he will be serving us a spaced out album session recorded together with Cold Diamond & Mink. Jimi is no stranger in these space ways as he has operated behind the Timmion scenes for years, furnishing several of the label’s artists with his flute and reeds artistry.

The album is titled ”Is There Love In Outer Space?”, which begs the question with the force of five extended tracks that are guaranteed to blow your mind to the stratosphere. The pieces are loaded with whooshing and glistening synth noises and span from lofi space funk to cinematic soundscapes. The sweetly floating title track is like some of those galactic ballads that rare soul collectors are spending their pensions on. At the other side of the spectrum, album closer ’What Are You Doing?’ sounds like Sun Ra sat down at a JBs session, and is straight up meant to get that booty moving.

Combined with the raw soul prowess of CD&M, Jimi is able to refine new shades from his already impressive repertoire of talent. Even if you are a friend of his previous work you might not have heard him get down quite like this.
