MANDRILL

 


In the never ending world of things I didn't know I needed in my life, I present MANDRILL. I feel like I have had them forever, but I heard them (consciously) for the first time in July 2025. Better late than never, yeah? Sounds I never knew I needed until I had a taste - these kids shared the stage with JAMES BROWN and DEEP PURPLE and if you need a more rousing endorsement than that then I'm not really sure I can help you. Gorgeous 1970s psychedelic funk that channels SLY STONE and PHARAOH SANDERS with equal ferocity and in real time. There are twenty MANDRILL albums to choose from, and I would be an ignorant fool if I said that you should start with this one - but I started with this one and it's amazing.
