Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is the self-titled 2005 debut by the indie rock band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. The album mixes jangly, angular guitar work and punchy rhythm sections with Alec Ounsworth's distinctive, slightly nasal vocals, pairing pop-minded hooks with lo-fi, idiosyncratic arrangements and occasional unconventional song structures. Its DIY production and early internet-driven buzz made it a notable example of independent online promotion in the mid 2000s indie scene.
