Noise Of Art to host Phenomenal Handclap Band album launch
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 10 January 2012
The Phenomenal Handclap Band have announced that the UK launch party for their second album, ‘Form And Control’, will take place at London music and art collective Noise Of Art’s new club night, The Psychedelic Curiosity Show, on 24 Feb at Village Underground in East London.
The album itself will be released on 13 Feb via Tummy Touch. Of ‘Form And Control’ and its title, co-bandleader Daniel Collás told CMU: “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”.
Launched with a New Year’s Eve party, The Psychedelic Curiosity Show club night has been devised to coincide with the 45th anniversary of the UK’s psychedelic movement this year. As well as The Phenomenal Handclap Band, the February edition also promises to offer “60s folktronics, steam-powered cosmic house, psyched-out-disco and coal-fired techno”.
