Mammal Hands<\/a> have just dropped ‘Alia\u2019s Abandon’, their first new music since 2023 and the first taste from their forthcoming album Circadia<\/em>, set for release on February 27th. This marks a fresh direction for the band, with brothers Jordan and Nick Smart now joined by drummer Rob Turner (formerly of GoGo Penguin), who brings a new pulse to the trio\u2019s evolving approach. It’s also their debut release with the legendary German label ACT<\/a>. Speaking about it, they commented:<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly excited to join ACT for the release of ‘Circadia’. This album is about change, about the cycles of endings and new beginnings, and it feels like a perfect match \u2014 a moment where our own evolution as a band meets a label that has, for decades, put art and music at the heart of everything it does. ACT has released some of the most creative and influential instrumental music in the world, supporting artists who push boundaries, blending genres in ways that are both deeply emotional and genuinely original. Joining this lineage feels like stepping into the next level of our journey. The team is phenomenal, the ethos inspiring, and we\u2019re excited to see how our music will grow in a new home that truly cherishes art and music\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Formed in Norwich in 2012, Mammal hands are known for their thrilling fusion of jazz, contemporary classical, electronica, folk and minimalism. With ‘Alia\u2019s Abandon’, the trio are offering a first glimpse of what\u2019s to come, blending their signature cinematic style with a more rhythmically-driven energy.
