Minneapolis songwriter Mason Jennings shares his new video for the single “Only Lovers Welcome” from his brand new album, Underneath The Roses, out now via Loosegroove Records.Underneath The Roses is available on limited-edition colored vinyl and is available here. Watch and share the video for “Only Lovers Welcome” here. Jennings writes that the songs from Underneath The Roses were “written in an unprecedented burst” following the birth of his son, Western, in March 2022. Jennings explains:
“I hadn’t written any songs in about a year. I had been dealing with the psychological after effects of the pandemic as well as the loss of my dad. So, when Western was born I didn’t expect to be writing much. But immediately he was responding to music in a very intense way. For this album, between May and November 2022, I wrote 48 songs! They certainly uplifted me and connected me with the creative spirit, and spirit in general, again. They cover all kinds of ground but, when I listen back, I think the central theme is overcoming fear with love.”
Jennings also released a video for “No Ordinary Friend,” which he explains:
“Depicts two of the most important decisions a person can make. One, whether or not they believe in a loving higher power, and two, who they decide to choose as a lifelong romantic partner. This song is referring to both of those and the choices I’ve made.”
“Stone Gossard and Regan Hagar from Loosegroove Records helped me edit the 48 down to 11. I then enlisted the help of my Painted Shield bandmates to record the songs.”
Jennings and Gossard are ongoing collaborators in the band Painted Shield, who released their 2021 debut album on Loosegroove — the influential indie label that Gossard founded in 1994, which issued records from acts such as Critters Buggin, Malfunkshun, Weapon of Choice, and Devilhead, and was the launching point for Queens of the Stone Age’s debut album in 1998.
