Jeb Loy Nichols & Cold Diamond & Mink - This House Is Empty Without You - Yellow - VINYL LP

Wyoming-born troubadour Jeb Loy Nichols returns to Timmion Records with This House is Empty Without You, a timeless collection of soul-rooted songs that radiate warmth, wisdom, and quiet intensity. Backed once again by Timmion's house band Cold Diamond & Mink, Jeb delivers a full-length that sits comfortably among the tag's finest - steeped in southern soul traditions, but carried by his unmistakable voice and lyrical touch.From the gently loping opener InchFirst Night Away from HomeInch to the closer InchTime On My Hands,Inch the album unfolds like a good summer book, best enjoyed with a warm breeze on your face. Nichols has a way of making things sound effortless - like he's singing just for you, from the porch or the back room - but listen closely and you'll find songwriting full of depth, subtly arranged with organ swells, snapping drums, and deep-pocket grooves.Alongside the breezy mid-tempo romantics of InchHere With You,Inch other standout moments include the rootsy southern shuffle of InchGood Morning Monday,Inch the heart-tugging InchComing Home Love,Inch and InchStep In,Inch a mellow groove about rediscovery and reunion.As always, Cold Diamond & Mink provide the perfect analog foundation - all soul and no filler. Together with Nichols - and Emilia Sisco, whose gospel-drenched background harmonies grace several tracks - they've crafted a record that draws from classic influences but sounds unmistakably personal and present. A masterclass in understated soul, This House is Empty Without You proves that Jeb Loy Nichols isn't just still here - he's still growing, glowing, and finding new ways to tell the truth.

A composition simply means things being put together. In music, we usually think of composition as a classical idea. But in recent years, the possibilities of what 'composing' can be, have dramatically increased. Based in Oslo, Norway, Deathprod (aka Helge Sten) has been making his own forms of music with no compromise since the early 90s. His specialty is a deeply atmospheric, grainy minimalism that slows time down and explores the very particles of sound itself. This music can sound forbidding and alien at first, but compared to his more brutal output, it's an extraordinarily close and intimate experience. The first new Deathprod studio project since 2019's OCCULTING DISK, Compositions is the result of an intense period at his legendary Audio Virus Lab studio in central Oslo. All tracks are released in chronological order - in other words, the order in which they were recorded. Helge used a personal, unique combination of obsolete digital audio processors and sound generators, combined with his own secret-sauce tuning system. Like gazing at the wonders revealed by an electron microscope with Helge compositional control directs your attention to a succession of ever more spellbinding details and textures.Helge adopted the Deathprod alias in 1991. A complex array of homemade electronics, samplers, sound processing and analogue effects - cumulatively known as the 'Audio Virus' - combined with obsolete samplers and playback devices, to distort and transform sounds into unrecognizable relatives of their former selves. On the new album Compositions, the virus has evolved into even more fascinating and kaleidoscopic new strains. Electronically generated sounds vibrate and tremble like undiscovered metals ringing and resonating together. Sonic forms attract or repel each other as if under the influence of a strange magnetism. None of the tracks are over four minutes, but no
