Yeah!

I feel it is time for another review.
I find Clap Your Hands Say Yeah to be utterly delightful. This is a five-piece band with a really interesting sound. The only way I can really describe their self-titled album is as something of an acid-tripping indie band at a circus. Actually that's just the first track. Their sound is pretty up-beat, and super catchy; not in the "dammit, I can't get this stupid song out of my head" way, but the foot-tappin', head-bobbin', and, I guess, the hand clappin' way. I bet they'd be great live.
One of the main things that I find appealing about them is the lead singer's voice. At first, I thought he kind of sounded like a gruff-er version of the singer from the Format, but through the last couple of songs on the album, I decided that he sounds like an exact blend between David Byrne (Talking Heads) and Gordon Gano (Violent Femmes).
I'd say this cd is a good buy. Too bad I don't own it legitamately.
So yes, yes I will. I will clap my hands, and I will say "yeah," and I will love every second of it.
