Like a setting sun
Couldn't bake the ground

As a wave that breaks
Far from the shore 

So much that I couldn’t see
Looking backward
So much that I wouldn't feel
Goin forward

Lookin backward
Lookin backward

Like a crystal ball
Becomes opaque with age

For every nail that drives
Another hand will rise 

Time will never move the same
Goin forward
Time will never look the same
Movin forward 

Movin forward 
Movin forward

Cryo

Boys Don't

New York’s indie disco crew is back with a new album. And it’s the right moment!
With new acts like Toro Y Moi, Sault, Parcels, The Internet - the funky, disco, old school vibe is big in 2020. 
And The Phenomenal Handclap Band fits perfectly in the scene. With their vintage, eclectic, colorful analog dance music. A nasty fusion of forward-thinking disco, yacht rock and gipsy soul.

The band has a history: Some of the bandmembers played in Mark Ronson’s projects and in Amy Winehouse’s last band. Their self-titled debut album on Gomma records 2010 made them many fans in the music scene. Back then the band took the road, supporting Bryan Ferry and Franz Ferdinand, playing shows at Glastonbury, Wireless, and Latitude… as well as getting praise from Sir Paul McCartney about their album on BBC Radio 1!
After their debut album bandleader Daniel Collás began to produce other artists in his studio in Brooklyn. The band paused. Now they are back. With Daniel Collás in the centre, along with new members: multi-instrumentalist Juliet Swango, and vocalist and synthesizer wizard Monika Heidemann. 

The new album is still analog dance music. Funk and Disco with an emphasis on raw soul, vocal harmonies, African percussion, fuzzy guitars and analog synthesizers. The album starts with slow motion disco (Skyline) that makes you feel you driving towards Manhattan coming from Brooklyn (where the band lives). Turning into dirty punk-funk vibes (Remain Silent) the switch to almost Italopop influences (Riot, Do what u like) that remind Rimini, the late 80ies. 
But the album has also other shades: some almost Zappa-esque moments or house-like drumparts. And, in the end: real hippy disco! (The Healer). 

The first 2 new singles from the album came last year on Toy Tonics. 
They became a favorite of DJs like Harvey, Artwork, Disclosure, Gerd Janson, Busy P, Demuja… 
Gilles Peterson voted „Judge Not" one of his favorite tracks of the year. 
They had a good start. Now its the right time for the album.

OUTLYA - CALL MY NAME

Swipe left, unmatch, and move on - it's time to appreciate the person who knows what’s best for you – you. An ode to self-care, ‘BYE BYE’ is all about feeling good, and doing what’s best for you in a world of booty calls, ghosting, and mismatched expectations.

Bye Bye

I wanna celebrate
In this endless eight
You and me could make the best thing in a while

While the city sleeps
Praying to concrete
That only this heart beats the best thing in a while

And you say her name
Patterns in the rain
Match what's in my brain, the best thing in a while

When I see your moon
I got secrets too
Only cause of you, the best thing in a while

Take the bullet train
I don't feel the rain
Want it to remain the best thing in a while

Am I still your moon
There was only you
For a week or two, the best thing in a while

Light a cigarette
I'm not over it
Running to forget the best thing in a while

Wonder if you knew
I got secrets too
Only cause of you, the best thing in a while

Best thing in a while
Best thing in a while
Best thing in a while
Best thing in a while

I don't even know where you are, I'll find you anyway
I don't even know what I want, I want you anyway
