Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Regardless of their name sounding like some New Age positive affirmation technique, or maybe a bad lyric to a house anthem, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah are a truly remarkable band. As a five piece from Brooklyn they have developed a reputation without a PR campaign or label. The music speaks for itself, improving with each listen, it is both versatile and infinitely engaging.
If we were clever we could avoid references but we're not so we will drop them like they're hot. Talking Heads, Neutral Milk Hotel, Interpol, Modest Mouse and the soft creeping of Yo La Tengo are all in there somewhere, sown together like a technicoloured dreamcoat. This album is simply brilliant, so come on, face your partner, establish eye contact, clap your hands, and say, 'Yeah!'
