John Doe

Mammoth Penguins' John Doe tells the story of the people who were close to a man who has faked his own death, only to return years later. That's right - it's a concept album. After playing shows across the U.K. and Germany, and a live session for Marc Riley's BBC 6 Music radio show, the band hatched a plan to work with other musicians on a side project. The result is an eclectic mix of indie-pop and folk electronica, with a bit of post-rock thrown in for good measure, with catchy choruses, evocative soundscapes and heart-wrenching harmonies.
