Although their name is inspired by an Erykah Badu album, London quintet Mamas Gun brings a completely different brand of soul and R&B to the table. Their blue-eyed, classic-but-modern take on the genres have earned them acclaim in the decade they’ve been together and on their fourth record, Golden Days, Mamas Gun took production responsibilities on themselves. This auteur approach gives us ten robust, idiosyncratic tracks for an ideal summer record, sure to win over anyone needing to balance all the sunshine with a bit of shady soul. You can add Golden Days to your vinyl collection when it comes out on Friday, and enjoy Mamas Gun’s thoughts on Brexit, “On The Wire”!
