Ephemeral

One of the things I like to do with composing is write a lot of music, as quickly as I can. Then, let it linger and simmer and see which melodies stay with me the longest. The ones I can't get out of my head are usually the ones I try to flesh out in the months ahead.

The seeds of this piece started in August 2024. The tune lingered with me, but something about the arrangement felt hallow.

When I revisited it this summer, I changed the key (down to D from E major), which opened up some new warmth it seemed to need. A second voice emerged just below the melody, almost on its own, adding some movement and slight unrest it needed.

The piece itself asks me to slow down, to let my hands sink into each note in order to play it properly. Its title is inspired by Mary Oliver’s poem "When I Am Among the Trees". A reminder that slowing down reveals depths we might otherwise miss, that are right in front of us.

I hope you find a little stillness in it, too.

Home Is You

Animal Joy

You as You Were

Shearwater - You as You Were

We are pleased to announce a new sneak peek into the anticipated fourth album from Mammal Hands. ‘Captured Spirits’, released 11th September via Manchester tastemaker record label, Gondwana Records.
 
Consisting of saxophonist Jordan Smart, pianist Nick Smart and drummer and tabla player Jesse Barrett, the trio have forged a growing reputation for their hypnotic fusion of jazz and electronica and have received glowing recommendations from the likes of The Guardian and Gilles Peterson. Drawing on their love of electronic, contemporary classical, world, folk and jazz music, Mammal Hands take in influences including Pharoah Sanders, Gétachèw Mekurya, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Sirishkumar Manji.
 
Forming in Norwich in 2012, brothers Nick and Jordan along with Jesse, developed their distinctive and polished sound with their meteoric live shows and release of three critically acclaimed albums: ‘Animalia’ (2014), ‘Floa’ (2016) and ‘Shadow Work (2017). Landmark live performances have included shows at The Roundhouse London, the main stage at Field Day Festival, La Cigale Paris, Montreal Jazz Festival, Hamburg Elb Jazz, Athens Technopolis and Unit Tokyo.
 
Teaming up once again with trusted producer George Atkins (Wiley, The Courteeners) at 80 Hertz Studios in Manchester, ‘Captured Spirits’ explores themes including existence and displacement. “The name has multiple readings but was first inspired by something Jordan was reading about past experiences of ancestors being caught and coded into our DNA and having an effect on who you are today. This ties in with themes that we have touched on before relative to identity and the collective unconscious (‘Shadow Work’). It also toys with the idea of feeling contained/trapped and the need to break out of something and also the idea of people being spirits that are "captured" in a body”, says Nick.
 
Opening with the melodic rhythmic patterns of ‘Ithaca’, the tempo picks up with the mesmerising ‘Chaser’, as heavy percussion and Nick’s frenetic keys draw the listener deep into Mammal Hand’s distinctive soundsphere. North Indian influences dictate the meditative ‘Versus Shapes’ with Jesse’s transcendental tabla playing taking centre stage while the dark and moody ‘Spiral Stair’ relies on a multitude of colliding and intersecting shapes and sounds.
 
All three members of the band contribute equally to the writing process: one that favours 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”, says Jesse.
