Clap Your Hands Say What?

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is playing with Australian group Architecture in Helsinki tonight at the Showbox here in Seattle. The two also played to an all-ages audience at the Showbox last night, and the reports so far are good. I didn’t go.

So what, right? Here’s what: in my opinion, CYHSY singer Alec Ounsworth sounds too much like David Byrne. Eerily like Byrne. So much I thought their first single was the Talking Heads’ Lost Session Tapes or something.

BBC calls Ounsworth’s voice a “euphoric nasal yelp“. I call it something I’ll have to get used to.
