RecommendIf there was any truly independent band to grab the imagination and attention of the masses of 2005 it would have been Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah. The New York based band has some very similar qualities to that of Talking Heads which we could use a big dose of right about now in rock music. The album starts off with the very quirky and oft-cited to be the most annoying song of the year, the title track. But the band recovers nicely and there isn't another slip up for the rest of the 11 songs. The key to CYHASY's brilliance is the use of simple and repetitive hooks that are huge and work Alec Ounsworth's often off-key vocals into the poppy mix. Another quality they possess is that this album's production is fantastic for a self released project. If you can find this album please do yourself a favor and buy it in the name of independently released music. It is sure to please.
