Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - 'Little Moments'

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s fourth album Little Moments is a two-song/two B-sides EP, not too dissimilar from the band’s 2005 debut album. One of its new songs, “Only Run,” has the same mash-up styled, multi-tracking introduction as its early popular track, “Satan Said Dance.”While typically criticized as “whiny” (and still in that category) Alec Ounsworth’s vocals are consistent and blend well in this progressive album. All four tracks in this work have an inventive succession of melodic sound, significantly less harsh than previous albums.While the band may have lost two members in the last year, CYHSY continues to garner the spotlight of music blogs and indie fans. This album creates the perfect unity of mellow, unpolished and futuristic sound for American indie rock.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvw2cf0DJYA
