Jimi Tenor & Cold Diamond & Mink - Is There Love In Outer Space? (Clear Vinyl)
Multi-genre album with crossover potential, blending jazz, soul, funk, and electronics. Cult artist active since the early 1990s who has released
records on labels like Warp and Kindred Spirits. Fresh collaboration between singular vocalist/musician and the Cold Diamond & Mink
band. LP Housed in vintage style Tip-On Sleeve. 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 two spaced out album sessions 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 first
album out 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.
