Mamas Gun have constructed a trio of blistering albums, releases that place them at the forefront of 21st century soul.
Gutsy R&B with a modern twist, the band have tended to focus on America in their songwriting – perhaps naturally, given their soulful roots.
New album 'Golden Days' – out on May 18th, y'know – finds the group broadening their approach, finding renewal in their locality.
It all ends up on new single 'London Girls', a brisk, blazing piece of horn-laden songwriting that finds inspiration in the capital.
“I wanted to write a London song,” says singer Andy Platts, “for most of my career, I’ve been making American-influenced music so it’s nice to do stuff that kind of points to where you’re from – having something with ‘London’ in the title without it being too tongue-in-cheek.”
Clash has first dibs on the visuals, and it takes Mamas Gun on a tour around some London landmarks.
