One hugely hyped album from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah has just crashed landed into the office & goddamn all you hysterical media muppets, it does sound rather wonderful. If you dig The Chills, Cocteau Twins, Bob Dylan, early James (when they were trancendental), The Smiths/Sundays, The Velvet Underground & Talking Heads (especially Byrne's yearning, yelpy vocals) then this magical eponymously titled opus is the album you should invest yr meagre earnings in. I can't adequately describe how these spine tingling, moving & delicate songs affect me properly (only listening for the second time - Thank you to Pinnacle for not ever sending us any decent promos!!) but they sound a like a precious amalgamation of a whole bunch of classic bands. Yet they've achieved that 1 important goal. Be inspired by your influences but don't totally wear 'em on yr sleeve. These songs are fresh & timeless sounding and this is going home with me. Stuff any nu-Arcade Fire/cosmic Americana waffle you may read. These guys are in a league of their own. LP/CD on WichitaBe the first to review this record. Best reviewer each month gets £10 off their next order!
