Oxford-based psychedelic ensemble Mandrake Handshake serve up a heady mix of coruscating stoner-pop on debut single Hypersonic Super-Asterid. 

Thickly layered with sparkling melodies, swirling synths and thundering guitars, the 8-and-a-half-minute epic - prompted by Stereolab’s mesmeric set at Green Man Festival last summer - melds the hypnotic prettiness of their 90s heroes with the hard-edged pulse of modern motorik (Squid, W.H. Lung). What they produce is
a hopeful music for the dawning decade. They call it Flowerkraut.
