Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (20th Anniversary Edition) (2024)

Alec Ounsworth wrote some of the most uplifting, celebratory tracks of this millennium, on an album of consistent excellence, and one rightly lauded for re-writing the rules of what it means to be an independent artist. A heady blend of left-field pop and melodic, exuberant indie rock, the record repurposed a number of classic new wave references for a new generation of music fans. The record’s raw, ramshackle sound has been an integral part of its appeal; time has merely magnified that charm.
