BROOKLYN band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (CYHSY) are celebrating the release of their third album, “Hysterical”, with a long-awaited British tour.
Fresh from three dates in Ireland, the
indie rockers will showcase their melodic charms to a Scottish
audience at west-end venue Studio Warehouse Glasgow on the 28th
of this month.
The former college friends founded the
band in 2004 and their eponymously named first album was released on
the back of considerable online success without a record label.
The creative, off-beat charm of singles
such as “In This Home on Ice” and “The Skin Of My Yellow
Country Teeth” made the music industry sit up and listen.
With critical acclaim from Pitchfork
Media and a few famous fans, including David Bowie and David Byrne
(former Talking Head's frontman) being spotted at their gigs, CYHSY
had brought their avant-garde style very much into the spotlight.
Relentless touring ensued with only a
brief pause to record their second offering, “Some Loud Thunder”
in 2007, and such brevity was perhaps the reason for its failure to
recapture the buzz of earlier efforts.
After a five year hiatus from the
industry to pursue solo albums and extra-curricular projects, the
band are keen to reassure fans they are firmly back on form.
Their latest release is a fresher and
more considered accomplishment with single “Same Mistake” being
compared by NME to first album favourite “Is This Love?”
Highly regarded music magazine Clash
calls this album of synthesised strings, jangled chords and yodelling
vocals “jubilant” and “disarmingly wonderful” as well as
“their finest record to date.”
The five-piece will want to capitalise
on such rejuvenated interest at this forthcoming intimate gig and one
of Glasgow's most bohemian spaces seems the perfect venue for it.
Tickets cost £12.50. For more details
