Hypnotic Oxford psych-collective Mandrake Handshake have shared the rather exhilarating, stoned-indie of Gonkulator, and also announce their signing to cult indie label Nice Swan Records.

Incorporating influences of krautrock, funk, Japanese animation and Latin pastoral poetry to create their own unique brand of Flowerkraut, amidst a sprawling barrage of psychedelia.

Always happy to see local bands on the up. Give it a spin.
