Clap Your Hands Say Yeah announce new album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 17 June 2011
Former toasts of the indie blogosphere, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, split into separate factions after releasing their 2007 album ‘Some Loud Thunder’. They’re now flying in the faces of those who doubted that they’d ever bother to make a comeback with new single ‘Same Mistake’, the first from their third LP, ‘Hysterical’.
Produced by studio veteran John Congelton (who has also worked with Modest Mouse and The Walkmen), the band have heralded the album’s planned September release by disclosing a promo trailer that you can peruse here.
CYHSY’s generous previews don’t end there, though. They’re also offering ‘Same Mistake’ as a free download. Opening with undulating strings, the track picks up pace with the introduction of lead singer Alec Ounsworth’s angsty drawl, rushing on past vigorous orchestral flourishes before finally pulling out into an “open road” of expansive melodic rock.
