“The Phenomenal Handclap Band rises above the masses” – NPR
“Their collective instrumental prowess is dizzying – each instrument occupying its own sonic space, each drum fill, synth pad and bass run perfectly layered into a throbbing mass that reaches nearly symphonic levels” – Paste
New York’s cosmic-disco ensemble, Phenomenal Handclap Band propels usinto their retro-futuristic styled world with the release of video, “The Right One,” off their second album Form and Control due out on February 14th from Tummy Touch Records.
Director Moh Azima, who has previously worked on the band’s “15 to 20” video, explains that the song’s message was his inspiration behind this conceptional video. “I played around with lots of symbolism like triangles, monuments and the eclipse to create the narrative.” Also included in the concept was the use of multiples to represent the difficulty of choosing “The Right One” amidst other contenders. He goes on to further explain that “ultimately the message of the video, just like the song, is one of transcendence, about not getting too involved with making sure you’ve got the right one, about just believing in yourself and allowing that to lift you higher.”
Form and Control is available via pre-order HERE
