On their new album Circadia -- topping the Billboard UK Jazz &amp;amp; Blues Albums Chart this week -- the band sounds at once both freeing and well-structured, finding arcs and chapters within tracks that blend the mysterious tones of Mogwai with the hushed escapism of Eno\/Budd collaborations. On today's episode, saxophonist Jordan Smart, brother Nick Smart on piano, and new drummer Rob Turner give their backstory, and delve into how a wide range of influences (from G\u00e9tatch\u00e8w M\u00e8kurya to John Frusciante to Wayne Shorter) have contributed to their artistic DNA. Circadia is available digitally, and on black or clear vinyl, from&amp;nbsp;MammalHands.com. Follow @mammalhands on Instagram for news and updates.
