Mandrake Handshake offer up new track ‘Gonkulator’
Their debut EP arrives next year!
Oxford psych-collective Mandrake Handshake are sharing their brand new track ‘Gonkulator’ alongside the news that they’ve signed to Nice Swan Records!
The newest taste of their debut EP set for release next year, the group say, This is our 3-minute party tune, but in swung 5/4 ‘cause who doesn’t love a good 5/4 groove!? It’s a song about sheer joy, happiness and freedom for two-and-a-half minutes – can’t be any longer because it’s too much otherwise!”
