Approved: The Phenomenal Handclap Band (SNAP Of The Day)

By | Published on Tuesday 5 May 2009

Rotating between members of TVOTR, Apollo Heights and The Dap Kings, amongst others, New York’s Phenomenal Handclap Band are masters of pulsing percussion and catchy yet credible pop songs. Recalling the funk-influenced joy of Tom Tom Club or even a groovier CSS, new single ’15 – 20′ is a delight, mixing in a sugary playground-chant chorus of “5, 10, 15, 20, 25,” etc. ‘You’ll Disappear’ is another excellent slice, taking in Grand Master Flash, Chic and decidedly 80s synth loops over the course of 5 minutes. Definitely worth your time.
