Phenomenal Handclap Band is the one that was never meant to be: an initially loose collective of musicians who wanted to stray away from the show circuit and focus on production. However, demand for PHB exploded following the release of hit single “15 To 20,” resulting in this diverse group of musicians stepping back into the spotlight for two albums, including the new Form & Control. We invited Sean Marquand, one of PHB’s founding members, to guest edit magnetmagazine.com this week. Read our recent feature on the band here.
Marquand: Wally Badarou was Chris Blackwell’s Compass Point Studios guru and a semi-official member of Level 42. His solo material, however, is where I think he really shines. I love his gentle approach to mixing and his highly developed synth sounds. I aspire to the beauty of this guy’s work.
