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.
The Ingolstadt band took their time when making their latest record - 8 years in fact. But now 'Talks Of Paradise' is finally here, and they've come up with a vivid, elegant record that makes the wait worthwhile. Time to catch up with the band that's been a constant in the indie scene of their home country for over 25 years.
