Great band. Props to Flipp for mentioning them.
Here's some brief info on the their latest release. I got this from pitchfork.com who recently did their top 50 albums of the year.
Their release, " Clap Your Hands Say Yeah" was ranked the 18th best album of the year.
"Great artists redefine the limits of their chosen art forms. Brooklyn five-piece Clap Your Hands Say Yeah gleefully nudge the bounds of good rockness on this self-released debut, daring you to dislike their froggy Violent Femmes vox and childish instrumentation, their carnie-barking intros and endlessly incanted finales, their bizarre but inscrutable lyrics and, of course, their unignorable, instamockable moniker. Easy to lose amid all that (and the Bowie sightings) is the melodic pop songwriting justifying the band's quirks. "Details of the War", in its wafting Dylan-like grandeur, may be the best entry for non-indie ears, but the joyous synths of "My Yellow Country Teeth", the crackling surge of "Let the Cool Goddess Rust Away", and the melancholy post-Loveless jangle of "In This Home on Ice" all have their own rewards. It's a record about rebirth: moving to the city, finding a new face, falling in love, and picking up the pieces-- clapping your hands and saying, finally, wtf."
Check them out please!!! I recommend them to anyone
