Biography
Formed in Oxford in 2018, hypnotic psych collective Mandrake Handshake - christened after a song by The Brian Jonestown Massacre - incorporate influences ranging from krautrock, funk, Japanese animation and Latin pastoral poetry to create a unique style self-dubbed ‘Flowerkraut’: a music to dance to with wild abandon or, to meditate on - a fluorescent soundtrack for private investigations of the mind’s inner-worlds.
Having initially teamed up with cult indie label Nice Swan for their ‘Introduces...’ series (in partnership with RIP Records) late last year, the outfit have since found label-mates in the likes of Opus Kink, Malady and Anorak Patch, fast establishing themselves as one of the most enticing new acts in the UK psychedelic scene.
