Mammal Hands - Circadia (2026) [Hi-Res]

With Circadia, their ACT debut, Mammal Hands open a bold new chapter: deepening their rhythmic language, expanding their sonic palette and reaffirming their place among the UK’s most boundary-defying instrumental artists. Drawing on jazz, contemporary classical, electronica, folk and minimalism, the trio pushes their immersive, atmospheric sound further than ever before. The arrival of drummer Rob Turner (founding member of GoGo Penguin) brings heightened rhythmic focus, expanded electronic textures and a fresh kinetic energy. The result is music that feels both unmistakably their own and thrillingly renewed. Circadia is an album about transformation: about cycles, endings, and beginnings. Its title gestures toward rhythms that exist beyond the purely musical: the patterns of life, breath, light and darkness. Across the record, the trio balances intricate, hypnotic grooves with cinematic expansiveness, emotional depth and an openness that invites listeners into a vivid, evolving landscape.
