The band's style combines ambient, jazz, electronic music and world music taking in influences including Pharoah Sanders, Gétachèw Mekurya, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Sirishkumar Manji.[3][4][5] All three members contribute equally to the writing process: one that favours the creation of a powerful group dynamic over individual solos.
Mammal Hands have toured with GoGo Penguin; and other landmark live performances have included shows at The Roundhouse London, the main stage at Field Day Festival, La Cigale Paris, Montreal Jazz Festival, Hamburg Elb Jazz, Athens Technopolis and Unit Tokyo.
They have released four critically acclaimed albums: ‘Animalia’ (2014), ‘Floa’ (2016), ‘Shadow Work (2017) and 'Captured Spirits' (2020) and in 2021 their latest single 'Oni / Lantern'.
