Their new album Circadia - the first with long-time friend and new drummer Rob Turner (formerly of GoGo Penguin) - marks a bold new direction: beat-driven, rhythmically alive, and emotionally resonant. Inspired by cycles and transformation, it’s a meditation on renewal and the beauty of change, where post-rock energy and folk sensitivity meet Turner’s electronica-inspired beats.

To be released in Spring 2026 on the legendary ACT label - home to the pioneering Esbjörn Svensson Trio - Circadia opens a new chapter for the band, expanding their sound and vision.

From standout performances at the Barbican to tours across Asia, Mammal Hands have earned a reputation for captivating live shows. Meditative yet visceral, their performances blend driving beats and hypnotic textures - music open to anyone, spiritually uplifting, and resonating long after the last note fades. Support TBC.
