Sprinklings of hip hop-style orchestral breakbeats May 11, 2009 at 04:03
According to The Phenomenal Handclap Band their music is "anthemic, dancefloor-oriented blend of progressive rock, disco, electro, and 60s soul with sprinklings of hip hop-styled orchestral breakbeats and moody, synth-heavy hooks". We think it just sounds pretty good.

Hailing from New York, the seven-piece band apparently tours as a 12-piece and – even though they say they "refuse to have our musical influences meeting in hypothetical situations under impossible circumstances" – we say they have tinges of the Dap Kings, Amp Fiddler, Aloe Blacc, Goldfrapp and a billion others. We suspect they pretty much dig Prince too.
