Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is an American indie rock band formed in 2004, led by vocalist and songwriter Alec Ounsworth. Their music pairs guitar-driven, lo-fi indie rock with idiosyncratic melodies and expressive, sometimes theatrical vocals. The band became noted for a DIY approach to recording and distribution and for early attention gained through internet blogs and word-of-mouth, illustrating a new route for independent artists to reach audiences outside traditional industry channels.
