​The Mammals (from the album Nonet available on ) (by Bryant Liggett)
You can feel the softness of The Mammals. Like a clean comforter and a big fluffy pillow, their sound closes in around you, exuding warmth and holding on tight, daring you to find a way to split from its embrace. The Mammals latest release in Nonet is chock full of fair melodies, rich with texture, that push the boundaries of the Folk with plush instrumentation. 
“Coming Down Off Summer” opens Nonet, where harmonies and pedal steel guitar set a lushly lazy tone. “Radio Signal” picks up the tempo by a slight notch, whispered vocals detailing a soul searching, claiming ‘I roll and I roll, down the back roads of my soul, lookin’ for light like a radio signal’. With a line like ‘the whole world is wide open’, the cut “If You Could Hear Me Now” is a perfect early morning song of promise, “California” a nod to the Golden State that exudes a sunny beach, Laurel Canyon vibe and “You Can Come to My House” is a wonderful invite into a slacker crash pad where ‘you can pick some records out, coffees in the cupboard, whiskey on the shelf’. The Mammal’s sleeper instrument is the pedal steel, its use on Nonet adding an air of ambience and atmosphere to the entire vibe of the record. (by Bryant Liggett)
