News that Clap Your Hands Say Yeah are touring should prompt everyone to… you know, clap their hands say yeah.

Ok, so Alec Ounsworth is whiney, so he slurs his lyrics, but really when it sounds so good who cares? I must admit it took a few listens for me to fully appreciate their first (self titled) album, but once I did, I didn’t want to listen to anything else.

In Australia towards the end of May to promote their most recent release, Some Loud Thunder this is one band that should be on your list.
