Mamas Gun’s debut album Routes To Riches - released late 2009 and co-produced by the band and Julian Simmons (Guillemots) - combined the euphoria of soul and Motown with the spirit of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Lewis Taylor and the Average White Band. Indeed, Uncut proclaimed it “a master-class in blue-eyed bubblegum soul, as heartwarmingly catchy as anything from Stevie Wonder's '70s purple patch” whilst Billboard offered "a kaleidoscope of a record that travels through genres.” The Sunday Times went even further comparing it to Stevie Wonder’s early 1970s sound and suggesting you could hear “snatches of Marvin Gaye, Shuggie Otis, Sly Stone, and George Clinton, as well as a smattering of blue-eyed soul influences, including Hall & Oates on Chasing Down Shadows and Wishing, and pop-soul period Todd Rundgren on Pots of Gold.” Their new album 'The Life And Soul' will be released on June 6th by Candelion Records.
