Support comes from Gondwana Records label mates, Mammal Hands, a trio of
like-minded musicians: Jordan Smart saxophone, Nick Smart piano and Jesse
Barret drums and tabla. Drawing on influences from Steve Reich to Bonobo and
Pharoah Sanders to Cinematic Orchestra to produce their own beautiful,
inimitable music, their debut album Animalia was released to widespread
critical acclaim in September 2014.
