About the Artist

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is an indie rock band that formed in 2004 in the United States. The group was founded by singer-songwriter Alec Ounsworth, along with Sean Greenhalgh, Robbie Guertin, Lee Sargent, and Tyler Sargent. They gained prominence through the early 2000s blogosphere, which helped define the blog rock movement. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2005, featured standout tracks like "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth," showcasing their distinctive sound that blends catchy melodies with a lo-fi aesthetic. Over the years, they have continued to release music, with albums such as "Some Loud Thunder" (2007) and "Only Run" (2014), further solidifying their place in the indie rock scene.
