Over the years it became a lovely tradition for NBHAP author Stefan to catch up with Berlin-based psychedelic pop outfit Fenster whenever they happen to visit his hometown Leipzig. This year they even played a release show there, supporting their brand new fourth full-length called 'The Room'. It's another great release from this still way too underrated band.

With their fifth album, Norwich-bred Mammal Hands are once again crossing the threshold between contemporary classic, popular, and folk music from around the globe, and jazz. NBHAP author Elana Shapiro met the trio ahead of their tour across Europe to talk about their special chemistry, inspirations, and what a growing mushroom had to do with the genesis of the record.
