THE MAMMALS STAND UP FOR THE COMMON GOOD ON THEIR STIRRING ‘NONET’: NO DEPRESSION (5/21/20) “Like a superhero called to the scene of a crisis, The Mammals have returned with encouraging words of compassion and hope just when they’re needed most . . . the timing for their stirring new album couldn’t be better. ‘Nonet’ was recorded before the pandemic, yet the timeless concerns it addresses — the common good, environmental responsibility, and resistance to injustice—feel especially relevant now . . . Nonet marshals the defiant spirit needed to heal a damaged world . . . With so much uncertainly in the air right now, The Mammals’ clear-eyed optimism is especially valuable. If ‘Nonet’ won’t solve the world’s ills, it surely makes it easier to face them. – No Depression

“The Mammals “don’t suffer from multiple genre syndrome, they celebrate it as if gleefully aware that the sound barriers separating old-timey music, vintage pop and contemporary folk are as permeable as cotton.” – Washington Post

Indie-roots trailblazers, The Mammals, are a high-octane Americana quintet from New York’s storied Hudson Valley carrying on the work of Pete Seeger & Woody Guthrie with a deep original repertoire, searing American roots sound, and a message of hope for humanity.
Known for their jubilant, high-energy shows, The Mammals deftly move from older-than-dirt banjo duets to sound-the-alarm topical fare that’s right in line with the times, bouncing from rafter raising hoe-downs to hear-a-pin-drop a cappella balladry.
