Mamas Gun are preparing for the release of their sixth studio album Cure The Jones, due out on 1 April. It was recorded direct to tape with analogue gear at front man Andy Platts’ home studio in just three days. A press release promises the 11-track record will be their most complete and powerful work to date. ‘A joyous and sophisticated exposition of song-craft, that explores themes of love, loss, life through the most pressing social and political issues of the day’.

Good Love, arguably one of the best tracks on the album, is Mamas Guns’ new single. Blending warm bass and organ grooves with funky guitars and caramel-smooth vocals, this is classic R&B for modern times.

Platts says about the track: “This is a love song, no doubt about it. But it was really prompted by life in the pandemic which forces you to reflect on what you have. The thought of getting through this pandemic alone like so many others out there – on top of everything else like work struggles and raising children – was overwhelming. So it is about counting your blessings, the constant and dependable love of your significant other.”

If Mamas Gun hadn’t published this ‘disclaimer’ with the video themselves, I would’ve done it for them: “Rated ‘G’ for ‘Groovy’”.
