Signed to Matthew Halsall’s Gondwana Records, Mammal Hands has carved out a growing following both in the UK and abroad for their hypnotic fusion of jazz, folk and electronica, appealing to fans from Bonobo and Gilles Peterson to Jamie Cullum.
They have been compared to both Portico Quartet and GoGo Penguin (with whom the group have toured) for the way in which they navigate the choppy waters between contemporary dance music and jazz.
Drawing on a rich well of influences from Sufi and shamanic African trance music, Irish and Eastern European folk music, to Steve Reich and Philip Glass and more contemporary electronica influences, their music is built around deceptively simple sounding ideas that are lent power through the use of repetition and rhythmic loops.
Their new album Floa was released in May 2016.
