Hailing from Manchester in the UK, acoustic-electronica trio GoGo Penguin are pianist Chris Illingworth, bassist Nick Blacka and drummer Rob Turner. Drawing on a heady brew of influences from Brian Eno, John Cage, Massive Attack and Aphex Twin to Manchester’s grey rain-streaked urban streets, they create a brave new sound that is wholly their own.

Defined by skittering break-beats, powerful sub-bass, telepathic interplay and a penchant for anthemic melody they create an emotionally rich palate for the listener that has seen them hailed as the most exciting new band to emerge from the UK in years.

Mammal Hands stand at the forefront of a new wave of boundary-defying UK artists, blending jazz, contemporary classical, electronica, folk, and minimalism into a sound that is unmistakably their own. In 2025, the trio signed with legendary German label ACT, home of Esbjörn Svensson Trio, and will release their sixth studio album, Circadia, in spring 2026 — the first with long-time friend and new drummer Rob Turner (former–GoGo Penguin) — marking a bold, beat-driven new direction for the band.
Formed in Norwich in 2012, Mammal Hands quickly earned praise from Bonobo, Tom Ravenscroft, Jamie Cullum, and Gilles Peterson for their inventive approach. Over five critically acclaimed albums with Gondwana Records, including 2023’s Gift from the Trees, they built a loyal international following and a reputation for intense, hypnotic live performances.
The trio tours across Europe, Asia, and North America, performing at iconic venues and major festivals, including The Barbican London, Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, Montreux, and Montreal. Drawing on jazz, contemporary classical, electronica, folk, and minimalism, Mammal Hands create music that is cinematic, deeply human, and emotionally resonant — marrying post-rock energy, folk sensitivity, and Turner’s electronica-inspired beats into a sound that captivates both in the studio and on stage.
