Mandrake Handshake - Earth-Sized Worlds

Expected Release 21st February 2025.Vinyl running late.

The concept tying together every last note and lyric of Earth-Sized Worlds - the debut album from the London/Oxford self-dubbed Flowerkraut collective Mandrake Handshake - is an awfully simple one: Welcome to Space Beach. A mantra to unite under one aesthetic roof the various creative compulsions of this complex, multi-limbed organism - varying at any one time between 7 to 10 members - its an album that conspires the alienating vastness of the cosmos against the warm nostalgias of home.

Full of surprise, leftfield turns and closeted experimentations, tape-soaked Brazilian Sambas morphs into Kosmische Krautrock crusades, and shimmering avant-pop electronics melt into sweetened psychedelic bliss Welcome to the Spacebeach - the new era of the Mandrake. Here, where the sea joins the sky, and where the trees touch the stars and where we will have you stay a while.
