Now playing; James Holden and the Animal Spirits. Assuming this is deemed a debut album - the first collaborative album between Holden and the Animal Spirits - this’ll romp home in the #5DebutAlbums1519 Electronica infused spiritual jazz rooted in the soil of folklore. It’s a fucking belter.

‘The Animal Spirits’ by James Holden and the Animal Spirits released by Border Community in 2017. The album artwork features colourful ribbons hung on a tree branch in a dense green woodland.
