This album won the esteemed #mercuryprize in 2008, the band won the best British Group at The #britawards in 2009 and 2 #ivornovello awards for #onedaylikethis for best song and #groundsfordivorce for best contemporary song. They are brilliant live and lead singer Guy Garvey has this amazingly beautiful voice almost transcendental and so original, plus he has a great radio show on #bbc6music - I can’t say enough about this artist Enjoy (at Hollywood Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUL7fRWlmlC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Mammal Hands release a new single “Chaser” from their forthcoming fourth album “Captured Spirits”

Mammal Hands release a new single “Chaser” from their forthcoming fourth album “Captured Spirits” via Gondwana Records. The bans formed in Norwich in 2012, by brothers Nick Smart (piano) and Jordan Smart (sax) along with Jesse Barrett (drums and table). Mammal Hands take their in influences from electronic music, contemporary classical, world, folk and jazz music, including their heroes Pharoah Sanders, Gétachèw Mekurya, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Sirishkumar Manji. All three members of the band contribute equally to the writing process: one that favors the creation of a powerful group dynamic over individual solos. “I think with this record, there was a strong and renewed sense of collective enjoyment and appreciation for the process and each other's contributions. After a long period of touring and a slow build up to the actual recording sessions we were able to mull over ideas for long periods, build on lessons from the past and pull our playing connection to an even deeper place. Realising each other's visions for the whole and clearly understanding how they intersect”, Jesse Barrett says about their creative process. Read the full article
