British nu jazz = oh yeah. Like their GoGo Penguin fellas, Mammal Hands mostly play peaceful music but never hesitate to make their soundscape busier. The three instruments (piano, saxo, and drums) work in unison: when it's chill, it's because the three dudes are playing softly, and when it's bombastic, it's because, together, they display their technicity in a more frantic way. But, unlike other modern UK jazz greats, Mammal Hands truly shines when they are relaxed, as even their crazier material tend towards clean territories.
