Souvenir

Timmion Records adds new talent to their ranks with Rosettes' latest 7" vinyl single, introducing two tracks by the group that seamlessly blend elements of soul and jazz with a smooth pop sensibility. As a group that some have coined "Khruangbin of the North" Rosettes bring a fresh cinematic perspective to contemporary soul music.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.
