Mandrill use funk as a foundation for moving freely between soul, jazz, rock, Latin music, and psychedelic textures, creating a sound that is unmistakably their own. “Mandrill Is” (1972) captures the group at an important early peak: more focused and confident than their debut, yet still willing to follow the music wherever it leads with its powerful horn section, deep grooves, percussion-rich arrangements. Pressed on 180g vinyl.
