The Phenomenal Handclap Band :: “Baby”

PRAISE FOR THE PHENOMENAL HANDCLAP BAND…

“…equal parts psychedelia, proto-disco, heavy rock ‘n’ roll, ’60s soul and hip-hop – what NPR Music calls “a perfect mix of everything from the past 40 years of popular music.” – NPR ‘All Songs Considered’

“…buzzing, burbling four-on-the-floor dancefloor fillers… a resounding success” – Pitchfork

“The PHB’s sense of style is spot-on…” – Entertainment Weekly

“…this 20-plus-member group is a chronology of cool New York music. Disco, funk, first-generation hip-hop, new wave and prog rock all coalesce into music that defies categorization but always aims at the dance floor.” – Playboy “Top Ten Bands To Watch In 2009″

“…musically diverse, incredibly melodic and dance-floor ready. It’s the kind of album that gives cookie-cutter pop the trashing it deserves.” – New York Post

“…an impressive hodge-podge of various accomplished musicians simultaneously channeling the energy of !!!, Tom Tom Club, Can, Cerrone, and Giorgio Moroder in a surreal explosion of sound.” – XLR8R

“Appreciate!” – SPIN “Songs You Must Hear Now” ’15-20′

“Looking for the early frontrunner for the “D.A.N.C.E.” of 2009? …the Phenomenal Handclap Band, a genre-breakin Manhattan/Brooklyn collective are guaranteed to soundtrack a lion’s share of parties this summer with a self-titled LP that shifts from rock to disco to psychedelia without hitting the brakes.” – RollingStone.com
