Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Internet sponsored Brooklyn quintet

Since their self-titled debut, the musical vehicle that is Clap Your Hands Say Yeah has been in non-stop motion. Alec Ounsworth’s idiosyncratic wailing, warbling, yelping even, strangely enough gave the band mass appeal, a sort of cultish fanbase of oddballs and popstrels alike. The band even made it into the BBC’s Sound of 2006 poll, at number 2 – that ain’t bad going for a band that started off almost as a bedroom project.
