The Phenomenal Handclap Band - The Phenomenal Handclap Band

2009 release. The Phenomenal Handclap Band, are a many-member ensemble which features musicians from TV on the Radio, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Amy Winehouse's backing band the Dap Kings, all of whom contribute their individual talents to make for a very exciting whole. Their sound is an anthemic, dancefloor-oriented blend of Progressive Rock, Disco, Electro and '60s Soul with sprinklings of Hip Hop-styled orchestral breakbeats and moody, Synth-soaked and heavy hooks. Using live instrumentation to evoke the intricate arrangements of Norman Whitfield, Quincy Jones and Phil Spector as well as the pared down beats of contemporaries like the Neptunes and Danger Mouse. Tummy Touch.
