Kelly Finnigan

I Can't Wait (For Christmas Time) / Snowy Night In Ohio

    For the first time since his viral holiday album ‘A Joyful Sound’ released in 2020, Kelly Finnigan (Monophonics) is back with two new original Christmas songs. ??‘I Can’t Wait (For Christmas Time)’ is a heavy yet laid back cut with a straight ahead pop arrangement. It’s that rust belt soul sound with the kind of harmonies that fuel Southern California cruisers; deep and emotive with just the right amount of instrumentation to push Finnigan’s tender voice forward. The tune also features label mate Kendra Morris and her band on backing vocals. Akin to previous KF releases or gems by The Escorts or The Four Mints, this record is meant for you and yours, wrapped in pretty paper under the tree until Christmas morning.

    Then save some room for cookies and the b-side…

    'Snowy Night In Ohio' feels like a slow moving midnight train making its way from Cincinnati to Memphis. Inspired by Finnigan’s first winter in Ohio, his love for gospel records, and horn arrangements by Isaac Hayes. This is a true stand out instrumental that oozes ice cold soul. It has a brief vocal message from Finnigan that feels testimonial and heartfelt. Featuring Colemine’s own Terry Cole and Jimmy James, plus Billy Aukstik and Morgan Price. Kelly says to be sure to treat yourself after a taxing year with a record the whole family can enjoy this holiday season. Merry Christmas!

    Parlor Greens

    Auld Lang Syne / Everyday Will Be Like A Holiday

      Looking for a fresh 45 to spin this holiday season? Look no further than your friendly neighborhood organ trio Parlor Greens! Their take on The Black On White Affair's classic version of Auld Lang Syne on the a-side, which absolutely crushes. Scone tears the organ to shreds leaving nothing left but a few stockings and some wrapping paper. Flip to over to close the night with a beautiful and mellow instrumental version of William Bell's "Every Day Will Be Like A Holiday." Two sides to this very merry coin.

        Keep Me In MInd / Let Me Count The Reasons

          Kelly Finnigan has teamed up with soul music legend Renaldo Domino for his next 45, out May 23rd via Colemine Records.

The B-side, 'Let Me Count The Reasons,' is a track from Kelly's critically acclaimed new LP 'A Lover Was Born.'

          The Charities

          Fatal Attraction / It's Not Our Time

            The first Charities 45 out on Colemine! Tracks produced by Anthony Masino Band has previously toured with Thee Sinseers and The Altons. The groups last track 'It's Your Turn" received support from the BBC, Craig Charles. Tracks recorded at Penrose Recordings. 50k monthly Spotify listeners. Colemine Records is excited to put out their first 45 with The Charities, a sweet-soul band out of sunny California. The A-side of this 45, 'Fatal Attraction,' explores just that. In some relationships, the very qualities that draw you in can also lead to your destruction. She's captivating—beautiful, intelligent, and charming—but beneath the surface, she's narcissistic and self-centred, with no regard for the pain she causes. When you're lost in the intensity of love, it's easy to overlook these darker traits. But when the time comes for her to move on, she’ll strike without hesitation, delivering a blow that cuts deep. Her words, sharp as a knife, tear through your heart with cold precision. As you bleed out, she offers nothing but a final, indifferent goodbye...."It's Not Our Time," on the B, tells the story of two lovers who find themselves at a crossroads, torn apart by the struggles they face in this chapter of their lives. Perhaps in the future, they’ll rekindle their love and spark a new flame—one that burns even brighter then before. It’s a bittersweet goodbye, with the belief that the distance and time apart will only strengthen their bond when the moment is right.

            FOR FANS OF...Thee Sinseers, The Altons, Thee Sacred Souls, Jalen Ngonda, Durand Jones & The Indications, Kelly Finnigan, Aaron Frazer, Brenton Wood.

            The Sure Fire Soul Ensemble

            Gemini

              In Latin, the word 'Gemini' denotes “two together” or “twins.” In astrological terms, Geminis are noted for, amongst other things, being curious and versatile. For San Diego’s 9-piece (mostly) instrumental combo The Sure Fire Soul Ensemble, Jazz and Funk have always been the two genres that they’ve consistently and effectively melded together, forming the bedrock of their sound. Exercising their stylistic curiosity and versatility, they’ve expanded upon this foundation on their new 11-song long player for Colemine Records.

              Recorded between late 2021 and early 2024 at The Kitchen II in their home base of Lemon Grove, California, SFSE steer their “introspective party music” into fresh sonic realms. While their breakbeat-heavy brand of funk-soul-jazz is still the cornerstone of their sound, as displayed in tunes such as 'Makin’ Moves', 'The Grifter', and 'Don’t Trip', they’ve begun to take more and more cues from library music labels such as KPM Music, spiritually-leaning jazz labels such as Tribe & Black Jazz Records, and exotica-adjacent jazz artists such as Cal Tjader and Dorothy Ashby.

              Now leaning more into the “introspective” part of their sound, particularly on 'Mother Earth', 'Freddie', and the title track, they evoke the spirits of Freddie Hubbard, Phil Ranelin, Wendell Harrison, Bubbha Thomas, Chester Thompson, and even Cannonball Adderley at his headiest & most cosmic (listen to Adderley’s Soul Zodiac & Soul of The Bible albums for reference). “Corporatocracy” takes it a step further with an extended tabla solo, which floats in and rides the percussive wave before kicking into its funk-driven, modal vibe. With their current lineup of: Tim Felten on keys, Jake Najor on drums, Omar Lopez on bass, Kiko Cornejo Jr. on conga/percussion, Aquiles “Lito” Magana on guitar, Wili Fleming on trombone, Sheryll Felten on percussion, Jesse Audelo & Travis Klein on saxophone & flute, SFSE maintains their commitment to keeping it funky but dares to go where they haven’t gone before and, as a result, breaks intriguing new ground in their overall sound.

              Fly Away / Play On

                Stock is very limited so orders may well be cut. For Fans Of... Pale Jay, Durand Jones & The Indications, Jalen Ngonda, NEIL FRANCIS, Jitwam, Kelly Finnigan, DARGZ.

                The A side, “Fly Away” is a tune largely built on a sample of the Hi-Five track of the same name, and features thudding drums and dense guitar riffs. Co written by Lydia Kitto of Jungle, this tune is a perfect mix of 70’s soul and 90's R&B. A true summertime jam!

                On the flip, “Play On” sits a little bit more in the midtempo cut with super tight drums, bass, and synths anchoring the track. The lyrics are a coaching up session and serve as positive encouragement, and Frazer’s vocal delivery pushes that home. Mega catchy hook with just the right amount of swagger....play on player.
