Mandrake Handshake - Earth Sized Worlds

Flooding in like a much welcome slosh of golden sunlight, Mandrake Handshake are the cure for your Seasonal Affective Disorder.

They pair dreamy samba, flower-trilled psychedelia, and avant-pop with motorik kosmische of an infectiously sunny disposition that will have you stripped to the waist and sprinting beach-wards despite the Baltic temperatures.

Varying anywhere between 7-10 members - including a dedicated, flamboyant tambourine shaker - their pristine spectacle of a live show has caught the eyes and ears of anyone with even a passing interest. A mantra to unite under one aesthetic roof the various creative compulsions of this complex, multi-limbed organism, it’s an album that conspires the alienating vastness of the cosmos against the warm nostalgias of home.

Expanding further on these themes, the sublime Dinked packaging of ‘Earth-Sized Worlds’ is deservingly furnished with a plethora of artworks, prints, and hand-drawn stickers to form an indispensable record that is as much a piece of art as it is recorded sound.
