Musings

I had intended to make this an American teen high-school rock week but forgot and posted about The Nextmen on Monday and then came across this when I was looking at TPHB’s MySpace to see if they’re coming back over here any time soon (they aren’t) so it’ll have to wait.

The Phenomenal Handclap Band x2

The Phenomenal Handclap Band – Testimony

I’d always thought this band was electro party music…and sometimes they are – 15 to 20, You’ll Disappear, very catchy electro disco-pop – but they also have a more soulful side. This track, along with Baby, is a perfect example.

Low-fi, atmospheric, spaced out and a little bit retro – sixties-style psychedelic guitar riffs slowed to a down-tempo stroll.

The track is featured on their self-titled 2009 release, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, which is available to stream in full on we7.
