Floa – Mammal Hands

Floa is an album by the trio Mammal Hands, released by Gondwana Records, which deepens an approach based on repetitive cycles, rhythmic interaction, and progressive development.

The group—Jordan Smart (saxophone), Nick Smart (piano), and Jesse Barrett (drums)—combines influences from minimalism, electronic music, spiritual jazz, and folk traditions, shaping a hybrid and contemporary language.

The compositions are structured around repetitive patterns, the accumulation of textures, and dynamic variations, generating a continuous flow between introspection and rhythmic energy.

Floa consolidates the trio’s identity within contemporary jazz, standing out for its integration of form, rhythm, and atmosphere into a cohesive discourse.
