Mammal Hands - Shadow Work

Captivating, ethereal and majestic, folk-jazz-minimalists Mammal Hands (saxophonist Jordan Smart, pianist Nick Smart and drummer and percussionist Jesse Barrett) carved out a refreshingly original sound from a disparate array of influences: drawing on spiritual jazz, north Indian, folk and classical music to create something inimitably their own.

Recorded at 80 Hertz Studios in Manchester, their third album Shadow Works was the result of 18 months of intensive touring and mammoth writing sessions. The energy from their live performances fed into the writing process and yet there is a quiet reflective side to this album, giving it an expanded emotional range that draws the listener deep into Mammal Hand’s sound world.
