Roll on to 2010. The band that didn’t mean to be a band - which also included Laura Marin (lead vocals), Quinn Luke (guitar, vocals), Patrick Wood (drums, vocals), Jason Roberts (lead guitar) and Emily Panic (bass) – had toured the UK twice, and when they were offered the chance to record at RAK and stay in the next-door apartment, Collás and Marquand couldn’t believe their fortune, what with the likes of UK soul-pop legends Hot Chocolate making hits there.
Touring their debut, the band imbibed a whole slew of other music, including the tastes of bands they’d toured with. A new PHB sound began to evolve under that legendary RAK roof, with Sean back and sharing songwriting and production with Daniel. Shorter songs. Punchier arrangements. Crisper sound. Guitars crunch, the synths glide and the beats swish and pump. The singers on Form & Control are Laura, Patrick, Quinn (who also wrote “Give”) and Daniel, adding to the kaleidoscopic effect.
In an attempt to explain their choice of album title Daniel says – “We had gone into the studio with only two tracks written beforehand, and after we’d got the rhythm section in for the first half, Sean and I worked on it for long days, and as we got inspired, “Form & Control” made sense to us. The lyrics are about making a deal with the devil, like, how over history did some people become that famous? Julius Caesar, for example, who people still talk about thousands of years after his death. To a lesser extent, musicians or actors who have made an indelible impression, who have left their mark. It’s a pre- destined path, but perhaps you have to give up something to make it possible...form and control.
In and amongst these strange and curious currents, The Phenomenal Handclap Band has forged a path that sets them apart from the pack. And so their journey continues, touring - they’ve just supported Bryan Ferry in the US - he now calls The PHB “my favourite new American band”) and will headline Tummy Touch Records 15th Anniversary party on November 23rd at Hiro Ballroom at The Maritime Hotel. Joining them on the bill are label mates Bing Ji Ling + DJ sets from Horse Meat Disco, Thomas (Rub & Tug, Wicked), Krunk Pony and TT head honcho Tim ‘Love’ Lee.
