Black Pumas - "Black Moon Rising"

 As if keeping tabs on the quality output Colemine Records releases wasn't enough, the Ohio soul label have created a new offshoot - Karma Chief Records - and come out the gate swinging with Austin, TX group Black Pumas. The first digital single, "Black Moon Rising" drops today.

Jr. Thomas & The Volcanos - "What A Shame"

Apparently Friday is Colemine Records Day. Last week I shared The Flying Stars of Brooklyn NY a-side and now here's another hot 45 for you from Jr. Thomas & The Volcanos.

LIQUID MAGMA !!!

The Flying Stars of Brooklyn NY - "My God Has A Telephone"

In the world of drummers stepping out from behind the kit to take the mic, it seldom works out, but when it does, boy does it ever.

Aaron Frazer, timekeeper for Durand Jones & The Indications, hinted at his vocal chops on "Is It Any Wonder" from last year's Durand Jones & The Indications LP. With his new project The Flying Stars of Brooklyn NY, Frazer just dropped a gospel gem that's coming out as a 45 on Colemine Records.

(The Ohio soul label is also set to release the third record from Ikebe Shakedown, who were previously on RR fave Ubiquity Records).

Even before I heard Frazer's falsetto on "My God Has A Telephone," I knew I was going to love this cut. The ascending / descending bass guitar line that is tagged with a glockenspiel chime before the beat kicks in is the subtle promise that this sh*t is going to BURN.

SO HOT.
