You may have heard of this 8-piece New York band by now with people like Jim giving them some love in recent weeks. I just got an approved version of ’15 to 20′, the group’s infectiously funky break-out track so I have to share.

The track has got chiming background bells, an insistent and snaking bassline, top female vocals, some funky soul keys and a nod to the sound of local peers LCD Soundsystem in the track’s rhythm. A great NY tune.

The Phenomenal Handclap Band – 15 to 20

The self-titled album is out on 19th of June on Friendly Fire and they play Oxegen on Sunday July 12th (as am I, heh heh).
